[syslinux] syslinux.efi pxeboot across multiple subnets

[Celelibi]

I tried the patch from hpa directly on branch firmware and I get a
different (non-working) behavior.
syslinux.efi is correctly downloaded and my tftp server receive
requests for ldlinux.e64 and acknowledge options, but receive no
response at all.

Actually, what happen is that before any packet is actually sent (and
Transmit is called), GetModeData return a StationPort = 0. Leading to
received packets being discarded by the firmware because of the
non-matching port and the absence of AcceptAnyPort flag.
Local port, thus, can't be saved before the first call to
core_udp_send or core_udp_sendto.

Two possible solutions I see:
1) Handle the local port "by hand" instead of relying on the EFI
implementation to chose it.
2) Save the StationPort as soon as it is known similarly to what is
currently done.
