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.

only happen on every Nth call. Update the existing twiddle() calls done in
various IO loops to roughly reflect the relative IO sizes. That is, tftp
and nfs call twiddle() on every 1K block, ufs on every filesystem block,
so the network calls now use a much larger divisor than disk IO calls.
Also add a new twiddle_divisor() function that allows an application to set
a global divisor that is applied on top of the per-call divisors. Nothing
calls this yet, but loader(8) will be using it to further throttle the
cursor for slow serial consoles.
buffer. For now it fixes bug when following `ls` command will return data
from previous one aborted by pager. Also it should allow to read several
directories same time, for example, for recursive tracerse.
This allows the nfs_getrootfh() function to return the
correct file handle size to pxe.c for pxeboot. It also
results in NFSv2 no longer being used by default anywhere
in FreeBSD. If built with OLD_NFSV2 defined, the old
code that predated this patch will be built and NFSv2
will be used.

- bzipfs and gzipfs now properly return errno values directly from their
read routines rather than returning -1.
- missing errno values on error returns for the seek routines on almost
all filesystems were added.
- fstat() now returns -1 if an error occurs rather than ignoring it.
- nfs's readdir() routine now reports valid errno values if an error or
EOF occurs rather than EPERM (It was just returning 0 for success and
1 for failure).
- nullfs used the wrong semantics for every function besides close() and
seek(). Getting it right for close() appears to be an accident at that.
- read() for buffered files no longer returns 0 (EOF) if an error occurs,
but returns -1 instead.
file in the NFS file system when the underlying device is not a
network device. A Sparc64 specific hack for this exact problem was
already present (nfs.c:1.9, tftp.c:1.10), but the problem is not
specific to Sparc64. The hack has been promoted to a non-i386 test
because on non-i386 architectures it's either impossible to have
non-network devices coexist in the same loader with the NFS FS, or
network and non-network device coexist and NFS filesystems can only
be used on top of network devices. I believe i386 pxeboot is where
this does not hold.
The root cause of this problem is in open.c where each file system
is tried until no more file systems exist or a file system returns
success. There's no notion of a list of valid file systems given
the underlying device and the non-existence of a file can cause
the invalid combination to be tried.
