Michael Brown 837b77293b [xferbuf] Simplify and generalise data transfer buffers ...

Since all data transfer buffer contents are now accessible via direct
pointer dereferences, remove the unnecessary abstractions for read and
write operations and create two new data transfer buffer types: a
fixed-size buffer, and a void buffer that records its size but can
never receive non-zero lengths of data.  These replace the custom data
buffer types currently implemented for EFI PXE TFTP downloads and for
block device translations.

A new operation xferbuf_detach() is required to take ownership of the
data accumulated in the data transfer buffer, since we no longer rely
on the existence of an independently owned external data pointer for
data transfer buffers allocated via umalloc().
