plain-vanilla ETH microcode. The QOS_VLAN firmware added support in microcode

Switch the default firmware for npe(4) from the QOS_VLAN one to the
plain-vanilla ETH microcode. The QOS_VLAN firmware added support in microcode
for handling IEEE 802.1q tags, but the npe(4) driver did not actually
support the relevant signalling. As a result, it was impossible to use
VLANs with npe(4). Switching to the more basic microcode (same license)
removes the on-NIC promisisng and makes vlan(4) work on both NPE interfaces.

Merge WIP from p4:
o recognize ixp435 cpu
o change memory layout for for ixp4xx to not assume memory is aliases
to 0x10000000 (Cambria/ixp435 memory starts at zero)
o handle 64 irqs for ixp435
o dual EHCI USB 2.0 controller integral to ixp435
o overhaul NPE code for ixp435 and better MAC+MII naming
o updated NPE firmware (including NPE-A image for ixp435/ixp465)
o Gateworks Cambria board support:
- IDE compact flash
- MCU
- front panel LED on i2c bus
- Octal LED latch

Sanity-tested with NFS-root on Avila and Cambria boards. Requires
pending boot2 mods for CF-boot on Cambria.

Ok I hope I got it right this time.
After discussion with Sam, switch back to use firmware(9) instead of
having the firmware in hex format.
Put the binary firmware uuencoded into sys/contrib/dev/npe,

Ok I hope I got it right this time.
After discussion with Sam, switch back to use firmware(9) instead of
having the firmware in hex format.
Put the binary firmware uuencoded into sys/contrib/dev/npe, and slap a
LICENSE file, as found on the Intel website.
