Add a new 'netproto' variable which can be set for now to
NET_TFTP or NET_NFS (default to NET_NONE)
From the dhcp options if one sets the root-path option to:
"ip:path", the loader will consider it is booting over NFS
(meaning same behaviour as the default current behaviour)
if the dhcp option "tftp server address" is set (option 150)
the loader will consider it is booting over tftpfs, it will then
consider the root-path options with 2 possible case
1. "path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed by
the option 150, and the files will be retrieved under "path" on the tftp
server
2. "ip:path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed in
the option "overwritting the IP from the option 150.
We could not "abuse" the rootpath option in the form or tftp://ip:path because
this is already used for other purpose by iPXE preventing any chainload from
iPXE to the FreeBSD loader.
Given at each open(), the loader loops over all available filesystems and keep
the "best" error, we needed to prevent tftpfs to fallback on nfs and vice versa.
the tftpfs and nfs implementation in libstand now return EINVAL early if
'netproto' for that purpose.

Allow netbooting on efi without having to setup any NFS server by rebuilding the
loader with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT like for the i386 pxeloader
Sponsored by: Gandi.net
This builds on the modular EFI loader support added r294060 adding a
module to provide ZFS boot support on EFI systems.
It should be noted that EFI uses a fixed size memory block for all
allocations performed by the loader so it may be necessary to tune this
size.
For example when building an image which uses mfs_root e.g. mfsbsd, adding
the following to /etc/make.conf would be needed to prevent EFI from running
out of memory when loading the mfs_root image.
