net: Return of the legacy network stack

While it's nice having the shiny new lwIP stack, there is definitely
merit in being able to choose between two different network stacks. We
want to keep the legacy network stack around as it is known to handle
funky BIOS implementations and provides a good reference point when
bugs are suspected in the lwIP code.

Users now have a choice of .0 files. pxelinux.0 uses the legacy
network stack, while lpxelinux.0 uses lwIP.

Note that not every protocol is converted to using this new API. The
http, ftp and tcp code is still inherently tied to the netconn API,
and is only available with lpxelinux.0 and the lwIP stack. It's
unlikely that this code will ever be fixed up to work with the legacy
network stack.

Network stack operations are abstracted behind the net_core_*
interface, and each network stack has private data fields contained
within a struct net_private.
