Subject: [PATCH] Fix iPXE chainload loop by excluding iPXE from pxe-service

iPXE was stuck in a loop: boot iPXE -> DHCP -> get ipxe.0 again ->
boot iPXE -> repeat. Add tag:!ipxe to pxe-service directives so
iPXE clients get the HTTP script URL via dhcp-boot instead of being
served the bootloader again.
