Retain a reference to the cached DHCPACK until the late startup phase,
and allow it to be recycled for reuse. This allows the cached DHCPACK
to be used for a temporary MNP network device and then subsequently
reused for the corresponding real network device.

Allow network upper-layer drivers (such as LLDP, which attaches to
each network device in order to provide a corresponding LLDP settings
block) to specify a size for private data, which will be allocated as
part of the network device structure (as with the existing private
data allocated for the underlying device driver).
This will allow network upper-layer drivers to be simplified by
omitting memory allocation and freeing code. If the upper-layer
driver requires a reference counter (e.g. for interface
initialisation), then it may use the network device's existing
reference counter, since this is now the reference counter for the
containing block of memory.

We currently free an unclaimed cached DHCPACK immediately after
startup, in order to free up memory. This prevents the cached DHCPACK
from being applied to a device that is created after startup, such as
a VLAN device created via the "vcreate" command.
Retain any unclaimed DHCPACK after startup to allow it to be matched
against (and applied to) any device that gets created at runtime.
Free the DHCPACK during shutdown if it still remains unclaimed, in
order to exit with memory cleanly freed.

When chainloading iPXE from a VLAN device, the MAC address within the
cached DHCPACK will match the MAC address of the trunk device created
by iPXE, and the cached DHCPACK will then end up being erroneously
applied to the trunk device. This tends to break outbound IPv4
routing, since both the trunk and VLAN devices will have the same
assigned IPv4 address.
Fix by recording the VLAN tag along with the cached DHCPACK, and
treating the VLAN tag as part of the filter used to match the cached
DHCPACK against candidate network devices.

When running on a system with an ACPI-provided system-specific MAC
address, iPXE will apply this address to an ECM or NCM USB NIC. If
iPXE has been chainloaded from a previous stage that does not
understand the ACPI MAC mechanism then this can result in iPXE using a
different MAC address than the previous stage, which is surprising to
users.
Attempt to minimise surprise by allowing the MAC address found in a
cached DHCPACK packet to override a temporary MAC address, if the
DHCPACK MAC address matches the network device's permanent MAC
address. When a previous stage has chosen to use the network device's
permanent MAC address (e.g. because it does not understand the ACPI
MAC mechanism), this will cause iPXE to make the same choice.

Commit cd3de55 ("[efi] Record cached DHCPACK from loaded image's
device handle, if present") added the ability for a chainloaded UEFI
iPXE to reuse an IPv4 address and DHCP options previously obtained by
a built-in PXE stack, without needing to perform a second DHCP
request.
Extend this to also record the cached ProxyDHCPOFFER and PXEBSACK
obtained from the EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL instance installed on the
loaded image's device handle, if present.
This allows a chainloaded UEFI iPXE to reuse a boot filename or other
options that were provided via a ProxyDHCP or PXE boot server
mechanism, rather than by standard DHCP.

Split out the portions of cachedhcp.c that can be shared between BIOS
and UEFI (both of which can provide a buffer containing a previously
obtained DHCP packet, and neither of which provide a means to
determine the length of this DHCP packet).
