During early initialisation on some platforms, the .data and .bss
sections may not yet be writable.
Display the assertion message before attempting to increment the
assertion failure counter, since writing to the assertion counter may
trigger a CPU exception that ends up resetting the system.

We build with -Werror by default so that any warning is treated as an
error and aborts the build. The build system allows NO_WERROR=1 to be
used to override this behaviour, in order to allow builds to succeed
when spurious warnings occur (e.g. when using a newer compiler that
includes checks for which the codebase is not yet prepared).
Some versions of gcc (observed with gcc 4.8.5 in CentOS 7) will report
spurious build_assert() failures: the compilation will fail due to an
allegedly unelided call to the build assertion's external function
declared with __attribute__((error)) even though the compiler does
manage to successfully elide the call (as verified by the fact that
there are no unresolvable symbol references in the compiler output).
Change build_assert() to declare __attribute__((warning)) instead of
__attribute__((error)) on its extern function. This will still abort
a normal build if the assertion fails, but may be overridden using
NO_WERROR=1 if necessary to work around a spurious assertion failure.
Note that if the build assertion has genuinely failed (i.e. if the
compiler has genuinely not been able to elide the call) then the
object will still contain an unresolvable symbol reference that will
cause the link to fail (which matches the behaviour of the old
linker_assert() mechanism).

We currently implement build-time assertions via a mechanism that
generates a call to an undefined external function that will cause the
link to fail unless the compiler can prove that the asserted condition
is true (and thereby eliminate the undefined function call).
This assertion mechanism can be used for conditions that are not
amenable to the use of static_assert(), since static_assert() will not
allow for proofs via dead code elimination.
Add __attribute__((error(...))) to the undefined external function, so
that the error is raised at compile time rather than at link time.
This allows us to provide a more meaningful error message (which will
include the file name and line number, as with any other compile-time
error), and avoids the need for the caller to specify a unique symbol
name for the external function.
Change the name from linker_assert() to build_assert(), since the
assertion now takes place at compile time rather than at link time.

Expose static_assert() via assert.h and migrate link-time assertions
to build-time assertions where possible.

Assertions are enabled for objects built with any debug level
(including an explicit debug level of zero). It is sometimes useful
to be able to enable assertions across all objects; this currently
requires manually hacking include/assert.h.
Allow assertions to be globally enabled by adding ASSERT=1 to the
build command line. For example:
make bin/8086100e.mrom ASSERT=1
Similarly, allow assertions to be globally disabled by adding ASSERT=0
to the build command line. If no ASSERT=... is specified on the
build command line, then only objects mentioned in DEBUG=... will have
assertions enabled (as is currently the case).
Note than globally enabling assertions imposes a relatively heavy
runtime penalty, primarily due to the various sanity checks performed
by list_add(), list_for_each_entry(), etc.

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.
