           Summary: net/ipxe: update to newer commit and enable arm64

           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

Could the port be updated, and amended to allow SNP EFI for armv8 please?

A number of 64-bit armv8 ampere servers are coming to the FreeBSD Foundation.
They can boot using iPXE, cross-built as follows:

```
# on a boring standard ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install build-essential \
  gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu git liblzma-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe
$ cd ipxe/src
$ git log --oneline HEAD -1
  1192edf3 (HEAD -> master) [dhcp] Handle DHCPNAK by returning to discovery
state
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ARCH=arm64 bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi
```

thanks!
