Reduce duplication between i386 and x86_64 by providing a single
shared linker script that both architectures can include.

Add a driver using libslirp to provide a virtual network interface
without requiring root permissions on the host. This simplifies the
process of running iPXE as a Linux userspace application with network
access. For example:
make bin-x86_64-linux/slirp.linux
./bin-x86_64-linux/slirp.linux --net slirp
libslirp will provide a built-in emulated DHCP server and NAT router.
Settings such as the boot filename may be controlled via command-line
options. For example:
./bin-x86_64-linux/slirp.linux \
--net slirp,filename=http://192.168.0.1/boot.ipxe

When building as a Linux userspace application, iPXE currently
implements its own system calls to the host kernel rather than relying
on the host's C library. The output binary is statically linked and
has no external dependencies.
This matches the general philosophy of other platforms on which iPXE
runs, since there are no external libraries available on either BIOS
or UEFI bare metal. However, it would be useful for the Linux
userspace application to be able to link against host libraries such
as libslirp.
Modify the build process to perform a two-stage link: first picking
out the requested objects in the usual way from blib.a but with
relocations left present, then linking again with a helper object to
create a standard hosted application. The helper object provides the
standard main() entry point and wrappers for the Linux system calls
required by the iPXE Linux drivers and interface code.
