ipxe Makefile patch

To whom it may concern,=20

please find attached small improvements to the Makefile for net/ipxe.

Currently the makefile builds iPXE for two use-cases, booting a full iPXE i=
mage
or chain-loading via PXE. This is just a subset of the use cases for iPXE.
See https://ipxe.org/download, https://ipxe.org/docs and the bullets under
"Starting iPXE".

The diff improves the port to cover all use cases.

* Introduce "BOOT" option to toggle creating boot images. (default on, for
continuity)
* Introduce "UNDIONLY" option to toggle creating chain loadable image. (def=
ault
on, for continuity)
* Introduce "VMWARE" option to toggle creating ROMs for VMware. (prominent
use-case)
* ${IPXE_ALL_TARGET} global scoped variable to enable further customization=
 of
the build (i.e. adding additional ROM targets)

Patch tested with poudriere against FreeBSD 11.2 and FreeBSD 12.

I am looking forward to getting this merged.

Cheers,

Keve
