Subject: iscsi-target: Add login_keys_workaround attribute for non RFC initiators

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

commit 138d351eefb727ab9e41a3dc5f112ceb4f6e59f2 upstream.

This patch re-introduces part of a long standing login workaround that
was recently dropped by:

  commit 1c99de981f30b3e7868b8d20ce5479fa1c0fea46
  Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
  Date:   Sun Apr 2 13:36:44 2017 -0700

      iscsi-target: Drop work-around for legacy GlobalSAN initiator

Namely, the workaround for FirstBurstLength ended up being required by
Mellanox Flexboot PXE boot ROMs as reported by Robert.

So this patch re-adds the work-around for FirstBurstLength within
iscsi_check_proposer_for_optional_reply(), and makes the key optional
to respond when the initiator does not propose, nor respond to it.

Also as requested by Arun, this patch introduces a new TPG attribute
named 'login_keys_workaround' that controls the use of both the
FirstBurstLength workaround, as well as the two other existing
workarounds for gPXE iSCSI boot client.

By default, the workaround is enabled with login_keys_workaround=1,
since Mellanox FlexBoot requires it, and Arun has verified the Qlogic
MSFT initiator already proposes FirstBurstLength, so it's uneffected
by this re-adding this part of the original work-around.
