The network device index currently serves two purposes: acting as a
sequential index for network device names ("net0", "net1", etc), and
acting as an opaque unique integer identifier used in socket address
scope IDs.
There is no particular need for these usages to be linked, and it can
lead to situations in which devices are named unexpectedly. For
example: if a system has two network devices "net0" and "net1", a VLAN
is created as "net1-42", and then a USB NIC is connected, then the USB
NIC will be named "net3" rather than the expected "net2" since the
VLAN device "net1-42" will have consumed an index.
Separate the usages: rename the "index" field to "scope_id" (matching
its one and only use case), and assign the name without reference to
the scope ID by finding the first unused name. For consistency,
assign the scope ID by similarly finding the first unused scope ID.

Experience suggests that routers are often misconfigured to advertise
SLAAC even on prefixes that do not have a SLAAC-compatible prefix
length. iPXE will currently treat this as an error, resulting in the
prefix being ignored completely.
Handle this misconfiguration by ignoring the autonomous address flag
when the prefix length is unsuitable for SLAAC.

Now that IPv6 is enabled by default for UEFI builds, it is important
that iPXE does not delay unnecessarily in the (still relatively
common) case of a network that lacks IPv6 routers.
Apply the timeout values used for neighbour discovery to the router
discovery process.

Use the IPv6 settings to construct the routing table, in a matter
analogous to the construction of the IPv4 routing table.
This allows for manual assignment of IPv6 addresses via e.g.
set net0/ip6 2001:ba8:0:1d4::6950:5845
set net0/len6 64
set net0/gateway6 fe80::226:bff:fedd:d3c0
The prefix length ("len6") may be omitted, in which case a default
prefix length of 64 will be assumed.
Multiple IPv6 addresses may be assigned manually by implicitly
creating child settings blocks. For example:
set net0/ip6 2001:ba8:0:1d4::6950:5845
set net0.ula/ip6 fda4:2496:e992::6950:5845

A reasonable user expectation is that ${net0/ip6} should show the
"highest-priority" of the IPv6 addresses, even when multiple IPv6
addresses are active. The expected order of priority is likely to be
manually-assigned addresses first, then stateful DHCPv6 addresses,
then SLAAC addresses, and lastly link-local addresses.
Using ${priority} to enforce an ordering is undesirable since that
would affect the priority assigned to each of the net<N> blocks as a
whole, so use the sibling ordering capability instead.

Expose the IPv6 address (or prefix) as ${ip6}, the prefix length as
${len6}, and the router address as ${gateway6}.

We currently perform IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
in response to any router advertisement with the relevant flags set.
This can result in the local IPv6 source address changing midway
through a TCP connection, since our connections bind only to a local
port number and do not store a local network address.
In addition, this behaviour for SLAAC is inconsistent with that for
DHCPv4 and stateful DHCPv6, both of which will be performed only as a
result of an explicit autoconfiguration action (e.g. via the default
autoboot sequence, or the "ifconf" command).
Fix by ignoring router advertisements arriving outside the context of
an ongoing autoconfiguration attempt.

The transmitting network device is specified via the destination
address, not the source address. There is no reason to set
sin6_scope_id on the source address.

Update the DNS resolver to support DNS search lists (as provided by
DHCP option 119, DHCPv6 option 24, or NDP option 31).
Add validation code to ensure that parsing of DNS packets does not
overrun the input, get stuck in infinite loops, or (worse) write
beyond the end of allocated buffers.

Allow for IPv6 routing table entries to be created for an on-link
prefix where a local address has not yet been assigned to the network
device.

Add support for the stateful and stateless variants of the DHCPv6
protocol. The resulting settings block is registered as
"net<x>.dhcpv6", and DHCPv6 options can be obtained using
e.g. "${net0.dhcpv6/23:ipv6}" to obtain the IPv6 DNS server address.
IPv6 addresses obtained via stateful DHCPv6 are not yet applied to the
network device.

Include IPv6 within the generic network device configurator
mechanism. The IPv6 configurator will send a router solicitation and
wait for a router advertisement to be received. (As per RFC4861
section 6.3.7, we do this even if advertisements have been received
prior to sending the router solicitation.)

Replace the existing partially-implemented IPv6 stack with a fresh
implementation.
This implementation is not yet complete. The IPv6 transmit and
receive datapaths are functional (including fragment reassembly and
parsing of arbitrary extension headers). NDP neighbour solicitations
and advertisements are supported. ICMPv6 echo is supported.
At present, only link-local addresses may be used, and there is no way
to specify an IPv6 address as part of a URI (either directly or via
a DNS lookup).

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated

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.

defined in vsprintf.h. (This may change, since vsprintf.h is a
non-standard name, but for now it's the one to use.)
There should be no need to include vsprintf.h just for DBG() statements,
since include/compiler.h forces it in for a debug build anyway.
