[crypto] Remove elliptic curve abstraction for X25519

X25519 is defined as a key exchange algorithm, not as a generic
elliptic curve.  We have never supported arbitrary point addition on
the underlying curve, and we have never supported pure multiplication
(without the clamping defined in RFC7748, which modifies the scalar
multiple).

Now that we have an abstraction for key exchange that exists
independently of the elliptic curve abstraction, there are no further
consumers of the elliptic curve abstraction for X25519.  Remove this
redundant abstraction to simplify the codebase.

iPXE network bootloader

Build Coverity Release

iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:

  • boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,

  • boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,

  • control the boot process with a script,

  • create interactive forms and menus.

You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.

iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).

You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.

For full documentation, visit the iPXE website.
