Newer versions of the GNU assembler (observed with binutils 2.41) will
complain about the ".arch i386" in files assembled with "as --64",
with the message "Error: 64bit mode not supported on 'i386'".
In files such as stack.S that contain no instructions to be assembled,
the ".arch i386" is redundant and may be removed entirely.
In the remaining files, fix by moving ".arch i386" below the relevant
".code16" or ".code32" directive, so that the assembler is no longer
expecting 64-bit instructions to be used by the time that the ".arch
i386" directive is encountered.

Commit 8ab4b00 ("[libc] Rewrite setjmp() and longjmp()") introduced a
regression in which the saved values of %ebx, %esi, and %edi were all
accidentally restored into %esp. The result is that the second and
subsequent returns from setjmp() would effectively corrupt %ebx, %esi,
%edi, and the stack pointer %esp.
Use of setjmp() and longjmp() is generally discouraged: our only use
occurs as part of the implementation of PXENV_RESTART_TFTP, since the
PXE API effectively mandates its use here. The call to setjmp()
occurs at the start of pxe_start_nbp(), where there are almost
certainly no values held in %ebx, %esi, or %edi. The corruption of
these registers therefore had no visible effect on program execution.
The corruption of %esp would have been visible on return from
pxe_start_nbp(), but there are no known PXE NBPs which first call
PXENV_RESTART_TFTP and subsequently attempt to return to the PXE base
code. The effect on program execution was therefore similar to that
of moving the stack to a pseudo-random location in the 32-bit address
space; this will often allow execution to complete successfully since
there is a high chance that the pseudo-random location will be unused.
The regression therefore went undetected for around one month.
Fix by restoring the correct registers from the saved jmp_buf
structure.

Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the
various standard builds of gPXE.
