pxeboot: warn and abort on TCP-only NFS server, which doesn't work for pxeboot
When pxeboot gets a 0 as a port number from portmapper (indicating an error), it currently happily sends NFS packets to the server's port 0 in an endless loop. Change this to instead bail out with a useful message. This happens, for example, with recent Linux NFS servers as many distributions switched to TCP only NFS serving by default. FreeBSD's pxeboot must have UDP. In this situation pxeboot asks the server's portmapper for the UDP NFS port and since there is none gets 0. Also add a hint to the manpage explaining this and how to fix it. Reviewed by: ziaee, kevans, imp
