[ipxe-devel] [PATCH] [netdevice] Strip 802.1Q VLAN 0 priority tags

iPXE was unable to receive priority tagged packets specified in
the 802.1Q standard and supported by all major networking stacks.

This commit adds a new function net_pull_tags which is called by
all consumers of incoming packets after stripping their link-layer
headers.

This is another attempt at implementing the VLAN 0 feature. It is
always enabled and independent of the true VLAN_CMD support, as
discussed before. All code paths that process incoming packets now
strip VLAN 0 headers.

If VLAN 0 was Ethernet only, it would conceptually belong in eth_pull.
Since it's "link-layer-independent", I took the liberty to create
a new function to be called between handling the link layer and
network layer headers. Thanks!
