[lkrnprefix] Function as a bzImage kernel
The .lkrn prefix currently provides a zImage kernel with unused setup
sectors and the whole iPXE binary placed within the "protected mode
kernel" portion of the zImage.
The work carried out years ago to create the .mrom format provides a
mechanism allowing the iPXE binary to be split into a small real-mode
header and a larger payload. This neatly matches the way that a
bzImage is loaded: the "setup sectors" can contain the header and the
"protected mode kernel" can contain the payload.
This removes the size restrictions on an iPXE .lkrn image (and hence
on derived image formats such as .iso).
Also remove obsolete copyright information, since none of the original
code or functionality now remains.
