[ipxe-devel] [ipxe/ipxe] QRcode (#102)

[dgtlrift]

This patch is only a proof of concept but links in QR encode and renders the URLs for stderror.c to the console for a smartphone to scan for additional context.

A few considerations:
  Additional Memory requirements
  License for the library
  Readability from non-console screens
  stability
  Dynamic memory requirements (malloc) for the library
  memory optimizations in the library - bit array instead of bytes?

I don't warrant that this is production-ready, but merely trying to show that this could provide additional value.

I did try to subscribe to ipxe-devel at lists.ipxe.org and submit a patch, but it appears my requrest to join the list got dropped to the floor.
