9606abc146 dde_ipxe: remove dde_kit
A long long time ago, in a galaxy^W^W^W we used DDE kit to ease the
porting of purely C based drivers. By now it became clear, that we
do not gain that much by following this approach. DDE kit contains
much generic functionality, which is not used or rather not needed
by most ported drivers. Hence, we implement a slim C wrapper on top
of Genode's C++ APIs, that is especially tailored to the driver.

In addition to removing the dependency on DDE kit, the iPXE driver
now uses the server framework and the newly introduced signal based
IRQ handling.

Issue #1456.

dd47129bef nic session: link-state change handling
A Nic::Session client can install a signal handler that is used to
propagate changes of the link-state by calling 'link_state_sigh()'.
The actual link state is queried via 'link_state()'.

The nic-driver interface now provides a Driver_notification callback,
which is used to forward link-state changes from the driver to the
Nic::Session_component.

The following drivers now provide real link state: dde_ipxe, nic_bridge,
and usb_drv. Currently, OpenVPN, Linux nic_drv, and lan9118 do not
support link state and always report link up.

Fixes #1327
