[PATCH v4 18/21] tftp: reorder tftp packets

[Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@sigma-chemnitz.de>]

With the tftp "windowsize" option, reordering of udp datagrams becomes
an issue.  Depending on the network topology, this reordering occurs
several times with large tftp transfers and will heavily reduce the
transfer speed.

This patch adds a packet cache so that datagrams can be reassembled in
the correct order.

Because it increases memory usage and barebox binary size, it is an
Kconfig option.
