3aa769557c pixiecore: set Content-Length when serving the kernel/initrd.
iPXE appears to have *really* poor performance (orders of magnitude worse) if
it doesn't know the length of the kernel/initrds that it's downloading. Without
this change, booting CoreOS takes longer than I've had patience to wait. With
this change, the bottleneck becomes the network transfer speed.

Fixes #10.

f061a783a7 dhcp4: Don't use the non-binding DHCP Conn silently on linux.
pixiecore: Plumb NewSnooperConn into Server as an advanced option.
pixiecore/cli: Plumb DHCPNoBind to the CLI.

Now, by default, Pixiecore will bind() to the DHCP server port in a way
that shows up in `netstat` by default. If you want to enable the "coexist
with my existing DHCP server" mode, you need to explicitly pass
--dhcp-no-bind.

Also adds a debug channel with the full line noise.

4941f47975 pixiecore: switch Spec.Cmdline from a map to a templated string.
The main difficulty in passing a commandline as a plain string is
that you sometimes want to encode IDs into it, to tell your kernel
to fetch something via Pixiecore. Solving that problem with maps is
a bit clunky. Instead, now we use a text/template {{ ID "foo" }} to
mean "make a URL that, when fetched, reads the file "foo" from the
Booter.

2b4d1e8101 pixiecore: replace fmt.Print* with a user-customizable logging function.
Also introduces a "Trace" member to the API, for the future addition of
extremely verbose and complete tracing, to be used for bug reports. But
for now, only Log is used.

e440f01741 pixiecore: new version of Pixiecore, using netboot libraries.
This version is still *extremely* barebones, and the unstable tag
in the README applies triple for it, but the code in its current
state is capable of booting x86 and UEFI clients correctly, and
that was hard enough to merit a snapshot checkpoint.
