Add PXE support

In order to enable PXE booting, the user would need to also add the goldboot registry's IP to their DHCP server.

When enabled, the registry will:

  • Start a TFTP listener on 69/UDP
  • Send a specialized goldboot linux image wrapped in an EFI binary
    • According to the requestor's MAC address, the goldboot linux image automatically pulls the appropriate public image and applies it

Looking forward to it.

You might get some value from referencing digitalrebar's provision tool, which can act as a PXE boot server among other things.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll try it out and see what other features are relevant. I love when open source is better than its proprietary counterparts!
