[settings] Remove "uristring" setting type
Commit b5f5f73 ("[cmdline] Expand settings within each command-line
token individually") effectively rendered the "uristring" setting type
obsolete, since strings containing whitespace no longer break the
command line parser. The concept of the "uristring" type is not well
defined, since URI escaping rules depend on which portion of a URI is
being escaped.
Remove the "uristring" type, converting it into an alias for the
"string" setting type so as to avoid breaking existing scripts.

[dhcp] Copy exactly the required length when resizing DHCP options
When resizing DHCP options, iPXE currently calculates the length to be
copied by subtracting the destination pointer from the end of buffer
pointer. This works and guarantees not to write beyond the end of the
buffer, but may end up reading beyond the end of the buffer.

[dns] Update end-of-name pointer after processing CNAME record
Commit d4c0226 ("[dns] Support DNS search lists") introduced a
regression when handling CNAME records resolving to names longer than
the original name. The "end of name" offset stored in dns->offset was
not updated to reflect the length of the new name, causing
dns_question() to append the (empty) search suffix at an incorrect
offset within the name buffer, resulting in a mangled DNS name.
In the case of a CNAME record resolving to a name shorter than or
equal in length to the original name, then the mangling would occur in
an unused portion of the name buffer. In the common case of a name
server returning the A (or AAAA) record along with the CNAME record,
this would cause name resolution to succeed despite the mangling. (If
the name server did not return the A or AAAA record along with the
CNAME record, then the mangling would be revealed by the subsequent
invalid query packet.)

[fbcon] Centre background picture on console
Centre the background picture on the console, to give a more
consistent result when the aspect ratio does not match the requested
width and height.
Once drawn for the first time, nothing should ever overwrite the
margins of the display. We can therefore eliminate the logic used to
redraw only the margin areas, and use much simpler code to draw the
complete initial background image.
Simplify the redrawing logic further by making the background picture
buffer equal in size to the frame buffer. In the common case of a
background picture which is designed to fill the screen, this wastes
no extra memory, and the combined code simplifications reduce the size
of fbcon.o by approximately 15%.
Redefine the concept of "margin" to match the intuitive definition
(i.e. the size of the gap, rather than the position of the boundary
line).

[vesafb] Work around data corruption bug in bochs/qemu VBE implementation
The vgabios used by bochs and qemu (and other virtualisation products)
has a bug in its implementation of INT 10,4f00 which causes the high
16 bits of %ebx and %edx to become corrupted.
The vgabios code uses a "pushaw"/"popaw" pair to preserve the low 16
bits of all non-segment registers. The vgabios code is compiled using
bcc, which generates 8086-compatible code and so never touches the
high 16 bits of the 32-bit registers. However, the function
vbe_biosfn_return_controller_information() includes the line:
which generates an implicit call to the "lmulul" function. This
function is implemented in vbe.c as:
; helper function for memory size calculation
lmulul:
and eax, #0x0000FFFF
shl ebx, #16
or eax, ebx
SEG SS
mul eax, dword ptr [di]
mov ebx, eax
shr ebx, #16
ret
which modifies %eax, %ebx, and %edx (as a result of the "mul"
instruction, which places its result into %edx:%eax).
Work around this problem by marking %ebx and %edx as being clobbered
by the call to INT 10,4f00. (%eax is already used as an output
register, so does not need to be on the clobber list.)
