TFTP: allow for adjustable retransmission timout 

So far, TFTP negotiated a fixed retransmission timeout of 5 seconds.
In some cases (busy networks, slow TFTP servers) this caused very
slow transfers. A new environment variable "tftptimeout" allows to
set this timeout. Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
faster in networks with high packet loss rates or with unreliable
TFTP servers.

tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
we use the TFTP server's default block size
tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
with unreliable TFTP servers.

Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
