[syslinux] Added DHCPINFO Tables to the lua.c32 Implementation - syslinux-4.04

Greetings All.

We wanted to be able to parse the DHCP values and options and write a lua
script based on the information found.  We are also using the CPU flags, but
thankfully in at least version 4.04 there is already some CPU value parsing
even if it isn't documented.  Using the information from the CPU table we
wanted to be able to choose the kernel to boot. Using the DHCP table
information, we wanted to pass the DHCP values of our choosing to the
kernel.

This patch will provide access to two tables within a lua script when using
the lua.c32 binary to do pxelinux booting.  It basically adds another module
such as dmi, pci, or vesa to the lua implementation.

gettable() returns a table of the BOOTP message fields returned by the DHCP
server for use in a Lua pxeboot script
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1542

lua key value               RFC key
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
opcode                       op     message opcode
hardware.type              htype     Hardware address type
hardware.length           hlen     Hardware address length
hops                           hops     Used by relay agents
transaction.id               xid     transaction id
elapsed.seconds         secs     Secs elapsed since client boot
flags                           flags     DHCP Flags field
client.ip.addr               ciaddr     client IP addr
your.ip.addr                yiaddr     'Your' IP addr. (from server)
server.ip.addr              siaddr     Boot server IP addr
gateway.ip.addr          giaddr     Relay agent IP addr
client.mac                   chaddr     Client hardware addr
server.hostname          sname     Optl. boot server hostname
boot.file                      file     boot file name (ascii path)
magic.cookie              cookie     Magic cookie

getoptions() returns a table of the DHCP Options field of the BOOTP
message returned by the DHCP server for use in a Lua pxeboot script.
Many of the options are reurned formatted in as strings in a standard,

1, 2, and 4 byte numerical options are returned as integers.

Other Options with non-standard formats are returned as strings of the
raw binary number that was returned by the DHCP server and must be decoded
in a Lua script

The Options table returns the Option code as the key except where there
are multiple values returned. In those cases, an extra key increment number
is added to allow individual access to each Option value.

lua key value        value Name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1               Subnet Mask
6.1            DNS Server [element 1]
6.2            DNS Server [element 2]
6.3            DNS Server [element 3]
209           PXE Configuration File
21.1          Policy Filter [element 1]
21.2          Policy Filter [element 2]

Options that can have a list of values, but contain only one (like Option 6)
will not return with .sub key values.

Usage:
         t = dhcp.gettable()

         for k,v in pairs(t) do
           print(k.." : "..v)
         end


Hope someone else finds it useful!

Regards,

Timm Gleason
