This adds support for the UEFI Adapter Information Protocol (AIP) for Nvidia Ethernet controllers. This fixes an issue where PXE does not load if the network interface is not ready (MediaPresent) when the PXE driver starts. Without AIP support NetLibDetectMediaWaitTimeout() will check if the network interface is ready only once. If it is not then it cancels PXE boot. This means if the network interface is slow to link the system will not attempt to PXE boot. When AIP support is availible NetLibDetectMediaWaitTimeout() will poll for "MediaPresent" to be "TRUE" or until it times out.
