rS318989: Always issue the pxe request

Summary

All the code are now only issue one single dhcp request a startup of the loader
meaning we can always request a the PXE informations from the
dhcp server.

Previous code lost that information, meaning no option 55 anymore (meaning not
working with the kea dhcp server) and no request for rootpath etc.

271 ↗	(On Diff #28902)	There is an catch now. With BIOS pxe you get the ack there, but with the values as requested by the PXE rom, not the loader. so you will miss the FREEBSD user class setup;)
