iPXE has no concept of the local time zone, mainly because there is no
viable way to obtain time zone information in the absence of local
state. This causes potential problems with newly-issued certificates
and certificates that are about to expire.
Avoid such problems by allowing an error margin of around 12 hours on
certificate validity periods, similar to the error margin already
allowed for OCSP response timestamps.

Add support for constructing OCSP queries and parsing OCSP responses.
(There is no support yet for actually issuing an OCSP query via an
HTTP POST.)

CMS includes an unordered certificate set, from which certificates
must be extracted in order by matching up issuers with subjects. We
will use the same functionality as part of the automatic download of
cross-signing certificates. Generalise cms_find_subject() to
x509_find_subject(), and create x509_auto_append().

At present, certificate chain validation is treated as an
instantaneous process that can be carried out using only data that is
already in memory. This model does not allow for validation to
include non-instantaneous steps, such as downloading a cross-signing
certificate, or determining certificate revocation status via OCSP.
Redesign the internal representation of certificate chains to allow
chains to outlive the scope of the original source of certificates
(such as a TLS Certificate record).
Allow for certificates to be cached, so that each certificate needs to
be validated only once.

The concept of an OID-identified algorithm as defined in X.509 is used
in some other standards (e.g. PKCS#7). Generalise this functionality
and provide it as part of the ASN.1 core.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.
