This removes the need for inline safety wrappers, marginally reducing
the size penalty of weak functions, and works around an apparent
binutils bug that causes undefined weak symbols to not actually be
NULL when compiling with -fPIE (as EFI builds do).
A bug in versions of binutils prior to 2.16 (released in 2005) will
cause same-file weak definitions to not work with those
toolchains. Update the README to reflect our new dependency on
binutils >= 2.16.

Some switch configurations will refuse to enable our port unless we
can speak LACP to inform the switch that we are alive. Add a very
simple passive LACP implementation that is sufficient to convince at
least Linux's bonding driver (when tested using qemu attached to a tap
device enslaved to a bond device configured as "mode=802.3ad").

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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.
