Viktor Mihajlovski c856f28e11 netboot: Send client architecture and handle path prefix
Client architecture aware DHCP configurations may send a
bootfile for the wrong architecture, if the DHCP request
doesn't include the client architecture identifier 0x001f.

Further, the DHCP reply may include the pxepathprefix option,
which points to the base directory to use for TFT requests.
If the value is not honored by the client, the wrong
configuration file, kernel, etc. could be loaded.

Both issues are fixed by this commit.
