fee79a2837 Removed the "slirp backend" networking module from the Bochs sources. It had
required an external binary and it couldn't be ported to Windows. Now the new
builtin and portable slirp support based on Qemu's implementation is almost
stable and all the 'vnet' DHCP and TFTP features have been ported to the new
slirp module.

  the MAC address is already initialized to avoid incorrect BX_ERRORs.
- small documentation update
