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.

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

wrapped in an i386 ifdef with a comment questioning their usefulness even
there. It turns out they aren't referenced anywhere, but their presence
prevents using sys/endian.h in libstand code.
These days, sys/endian.h provides much better support for such things, using
compiler builtins and inline functions (and creating connections between
libstand code and header files from sys/ would not be breaking new ground).
These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.

Although we don't use it in tree yet libstand is installed as user-
facing /usr/liblibstand.a, and some work in progress makes use of it.
Instead of conflicting with ongoing libstand Makefile deduplication,
just add it now.
libstand is built in three places (lib/libstand, sys/boot/libstand32,
and sys/boot/userboot/libstand). Reduce Makefile duplication by
.including libstand/Makefile from sys/boot/libstand32/Makefile.
sys/boot/userboot/libstand/Makefile will be addressed later, as it
contains additional differences yet to be handled.
This change also switches libstand32 to use the new uuid_from_string
and uuid_to_string, which was not included in r292473.

variables in loader(8) and other libstand applications.
Sometimes a dhcp server provides incorrect information along with the IP
address. It would be useful to have a way to override this with
locally-supplied information, such as command line parameters passed from a
prior-stage bootloader. This change allows pre-existing env vars to take
precedence over values delivered by the dhcp or bootp server.
The bootp/dhcp code in libstand automatically creates environment variables
from the data provided by the server (dhcp.root-path, dhcp.domain-name,
etc). It also transcribes the values to some global variables such as
'rootpath' and 'hostname'.
This change does two things:
When adding dhcp.* vars to the environment, don't replace existing
vars/values.
When setting the global vars rootpath and hostname, use the
dhcp.root-path and dhcp.host-name env var values if they exist.
This allows the platform-specific part of loader(8) to obtain override
values in some platform-specific way and store them in the environment
before opening the network device. The set of values that can be overriden
is currently limited to just string options. The values that are delivered
as binary data are things that probably shouldn't be overridden (IP,
netmask, gateway, etc).

normal libc versions of these functions use asprintf and sscanf, both
of which aren't available in the libstand world. It's easier to
rewrite these than to try to claw those functions into libstand.
Also include uuid_create_nil, since it's safe to include. These were
written from scratch, except for bits of comments that I got from the
libc version, which are acknowledged in the source.

pxeboot in tftp loader mode (when built with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT) now
prefix all the path to open with the path obtained via the option 'root-path'
directive.
This allows to be able to use the traditional content /boot out of box. Meaning
it now works pretty much like all other loaders. It simplifies hosting hosting
multiple version of FreeBSD on a tftp server.
As a consequence, pxeboot does not look anymore for a pxeboot.4th (which was
never provided)
Note: that pxeboot in tftp loader mode is not built by default.

redzone below the stack pointer for scratch space and requires
interrupt and signal frames to avoid overwriting it. However, EFI uses
the Windows ABI which does not support this. As a result, interrupt
handlers in EFI push their interrupt frames directly on top of the
stack pointer. If the compiler used the red zone in a function in the
EFI loader, then a device interrupt that occurred while that function
was running could trash its local variables. In practice this happens
fairly reliable when using gzipfs as an interrupt during decompression
can trash the local variables in the inflate_table() function
resulting in corrupted output or hangs.
Fix this by disabling the redzone for amd64 EFI binaries. This
requires building not only the loader but any libraries used by the
loader without redzone support.
Thanks to Jilles for pointing me at the redzone once I found the stack
corruption.
