[pxe] Remove pxe_set_cached_filename()

gPXE currently overwrites the filename stored in the cached DHCP
packets when a call to PXENV_TFTP_READ_FILE or PXENV_RESTART_TFTP is
made.  This code has existed for many years as a workaround for RIS,
which seemed to require that this be done.

pxe_set_cached_filename() causes problems with the Bootix NBP, and a
recent test demonstrates that RIS will complete successfully even with
pxe_set_cached_filename() removed.  There have been many changes to
the DHCP and PXE logic since this code was first added, and it is
quite plausible that it was masking a bug that no longer exists.
