The internal keystore API has changed enough since where the "logout"
branch forked that a plain merge would have no prayer of compiling,
must less running. So this merge goes well beyond manual conflict
resolution: it salvages the useful code from the "logout" branch, with
additional code as needed to reimplement the functionality. Sorry.

Consistent user complaints about HSM login taking too long.
Underlying issue has both superficial and fundamental causes.
Superficial: Our PBKDF2 implementation is slow. We could almost
certainly make it faster by taking advantage of partial
pre-calculation (see notes in code) and by reenabling use of FPGA hash
cores when when checking passwords (which mgiht require linking the
bootloader against a separate libhal build to avoid chicken-and-egg
problem of needing FPGA to log into console to configure FPGA).
Fundamental: The PBKDF2 iteration counts we used to use (10,000
minimum, 20,000 default) are in line with current NIST
recommendations. The new, faster values (1,000 and 2,000,
respectively) are not, or, rather, they're in line with what NIST
recommended a decade ago. Well, OK, maybe the Coretex M4 is so slow
that it's living in the past, but still. The fundamental issue is
that anybody who can capture the encoded PIN can mount an offline
dictionary attack on it, so we'd like to make that expensive.
But the users are unhappy with the current behavior, so this change
falls back to the ancient technique of adding a delay (currently five
seconds, configurable at compile time) after a bad PIN, which makes it
painful to use the login function as an oracle but does nothing about
the offline dictionary attack problem.
Feh.
Note that users can still choose a higher iteration count, by setting
the iteration count via the console. It's just not the default out of
the box anymore.

What I get for writing code while build and test environment is tied
up with a multi-day run testing something else.

hal_rpc_pkey_list() was a simplistic solution that worked when the
keystore only supported a handful of keys and we needed a quick
temporary solution in time for a workshop. It doesn't handle large
numbers of keys well, and while we could fix that, all of its
functionality is now available via more robust API functions, so
simplifying the API by deleting it seems best.
Since this change required mucking with dispatch vectors yet again, it
converts them to use C99 "designated initializer" syntax.

control over iterations.

This will need refactoring once we have a proper test for whether the
HSM is initializing after receiving a fresh software load.

Added RPC function to get server version number.
Substantially reworked GNUMakefile with conditionals.
Renamed rpc_*() and xdr_*() to hal_*() for consistency.
Moved hal_io_fmc.c from stm32 repo.

committing now so Paul has a chance to look at the current RPC API.
