[dhcp] Honor PXEBS_SKIP option in discovery control

Browse Source 
It is permissible for a DHCP packet containing PXE options to specify
only "discovery control", instead of the more typical boot menu +
prompt options. This is the strategy used by older versions of
dnsmasq; by specifying the discovery control as PXEBS_SKIP, they cause
vendor PXE ROMs to ignore boot server discovery and just use the
filename and next-server options in the initial (Proxy)DHCP packet.
Modify iPXE to accept this behavior, to be more compatible with the
Intel firmware.

/*
* Identify presence of PXE-specific options
*
* The Intel firmware appears to check for:
* - PXE_DISCOVERY_CONTROL exists and has bit 3 set, or
* - both PXE_BOOT_MENU and PXE_BOOT_MENU_PROMPT exist
*
* If DISCOVERY_CONTROL bit 3 is set, the firmware treats this
* packet like a "normal" non-PXE DHCP packet with respect to
* boot filename, except that it can come from ProxyDHCP. This
* is the scheme that dnsmasq uses in the simple case.
*
* Otherwise, if one of the boot menu / boot menu prompt
* options exists but not both, the firmware signals an
* error. If neither exists, the packet is not considered to
* contain DHCP options.
*
* In an effort to preserve semantics but be more flexible, we
* check only for bit 3 of DISCOVERY_CONTROL or the presence
* of BOOT_MENU. We don't care (yet) about the menu prompt.
