f59be6e850 net: BOOTP retry timeout improvements
Currently, the BOOTP code sends out its initial request as soon as the
Ethernet driver indicates "link up". If this packet is lost or not
replied to for some reason, the code waits for a 1s timeout before
retrying. For some reason, such early packets are often lost on my
system, so this causes an annoying delay.

To optimize this, modify the BOOTP code to have very short timeouts for
the first packet transmitted, but gradually increase the timeout each
time a timeout occurs. This way, if the first packet is lost, the second
packet is transmitted quite quickly and hence the overall delay is low.
However, if there's still no response, we don't keep spewing out packets
at an insane speed.

It's arguably more correct to try and find out why the first packet is
lost. However, it seems to disappear inside my Ethenet chip; the TX chip
indicates no error during TX (not that it has much in the way of
reporting...), yet wireshark on the RX side doesn't see any packet.
FWIW, I'm using an ASIX USB Ethernet adapter. Perhaps "link up" is
reported too early or based on the wrong condition in HW, and we should
add some fixed extra delay into the driver. However, this would slow down
every link up event even if it ends up not being needed in some cases.
Having BOOTP retry quickly applies the fix/WAR to every possible
Ethernet device, and is quite simple to implement, so seems a better
solution.

f8315731db net: cosmetic: Rename OPT_SIZE to OPT_FIELD_SIZE
Clearer constant name.
Also remove related BOOTP_SIZE which was unused and doesn't take
into account VLAN packets.

594c26f8a7 net: cosmetic: Un-typedef IP_t
Rename IP header related things to IP_UDP. The existing definition
of IP_t includes UDP header, so name it to accurately describe the
structure.

eafc8db0e3 net: Move MAC-seeded rand out of bootp.c
Make the MAC-seeded random number generator available to /net in
general.  MAC-seeded rand will be needed by link-local as well, so
give it an interface.

49f3bdbba8 net: express the first argument to NetSetTimeout() in milliseconds
Enforce millisecond semantics of the first argument to NetSetTimeout() --
the change is transparent for well-behaving boards (CFG_HZ == 1000 and
get_timer() countiing in milliseconds).

Rationale for this patch is to enable millisecond granularity for
network-related timeouts, which is needed for the upcoming automatic
software update feature.

Summary of changes:
- do not scale the first argument to NetSetTimeout() by CFG_HZ
- change timeout values used in the networking code to milliseconds

The option CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY does not compile, because of a

6e2115acb6 net/: Augment CONFIG_COMMANDS tests with defined(CONFIG_CMD_*).
This is a compatibility step that allows both the older form
and the new form to co-exist for a while until the older can
be removed entirely.

All transformations are of the form:
Before:
    #if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
After:
    #if (CONFIG_COMMANDS & CFG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_AUTOSCRIPT)
