[pxe] Introduce PXE exit hook for NBP chaining

Browse Source 
It might be the case that we wish to chain to an NBP without
being "in the way".  We now implement a hook in our exit path
for gPXE *.*pxe build targets.  The hook is a pointer to a
SEG16:OFF16 which we try to jump to during exit.  By default,
this pointer results in the usual exit path.

We also implement the "pxenv_file_exit_hook" PXE API routine
to allow the user to specify an alternate SEG16:OFF16 to jump
to during exit.

Unfortunately, this additional PXE extension has a cost
in code size.  Fortunately, a look at the size difference
for a gPXE .rom build target shows zero size difference
after compression.

The routine is documented in doc/pxe_extensions as follows:

FILE EXIT HOOK

Op-Code:	PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK (00e7h)

Input:	Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK parameter
		structure that has been initialized by the caller.

Output:	PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be
		returned in AX.  The Status field in the parameter
		structure must be set to one of the values represented
		by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.

Description:Modify the exit path to jump to the specified code.
		Only valid for pxeprefix-based builds.

typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK {
        PXENV_STATUS_t Status;
        SEGOFF16_t Hook;
} t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK;

Set before calling API service:

Hook:	The SEG16:OFF16 of the code to jump to.

Returned from API service:

Status:	See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants.
