This patch implements a search for a specific configuration when the config
file is on a remoteserver. It uses the following order:
1) DHCP client UUID option.
2) MAC address (in lower case hexadecimal with dash separators);
3) IP (in upper case hexadecimal) or IPv6;
4) The original grub.cfg file.
This procedure is similar to what is used by pxelinux and yaboot:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#config
It is enabled by default but can be disabled by setting the environment
variable "feature_net_search_cfg" to "n" in an embedded configuration.

This patch sets a net_<interface>_clientid and net_<interface>_clientuuid
GRUB environment variables, using the DHCP client ID and UUID options if
these are found.
In the same way than net_<interface>_<option> variables are set for other
options such domain name, boot file, next server, etc.

The printf(3) function has support for the %X format specifier, to output
an unsigned hexadecimal integer in uppercase.
This can be achived in GRUB using the %x format specifier in grub_printf()
and calling grub_toupper(), but it is more convenient if there is support
for %X in grub_printf().

This patch adds support for virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging. VLAN tagging allows
multiple VLANs in a bridged network to share the same physical network link
but maintain isolation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1Q
* grub-core/net/ethernet.c: Add check, get, and set vlan tag id.
* grub-core/net/drivers/ieee1275/ofnet.c: Get vlan tag id from bootargs.
* grub-core/net/arp.c: Add check.
* grub-core/net/ip.c: Likewise.
* include/grub/net/arp.h: Add vlantag attribute.
* include/grub/net/ip.h: Likewise.
It enables net boot even when there is no bootp/dhcp server.
* grub-core/net/drivers/ieee1275/ofnet.c: Add grub_ieee1275_parse_bootpath and
call it at grub_ieee1275_net_config_real.
* grub-core/kern/ieee1275/init.c: Add bootpath to grub_ieee1275_net_config.
* include/grub/ieee1275/ieee1275.h: Likewise.
In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop
condition and more then 10 packages or if there is no package received.
If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
this never happens.
