          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.
