Add a little more advanced u-root example in which we use pxeboot to boot NixOS served from host.

Section 4.2: boot NixOS via u-root's pxeboot in QEMU, adding the e1000
module to the stock image and serving the netboot files over HTTP.

Hey, juat some quick feedback upfront:
This is really cool, I think tutorials really help!

We're working on some reshaping and streamlining of the book, intending to make it more about the concepts of LinuxBoot, and would prefer to leave specifics to the respective projects implementing it, such as u-root, which has its own website and repos.

I couldn't quickly arrange something to push more content to the u-root side just yet, so I tend toward pulling this in here, but I'd like to think about it a bit more and check with other stakeholders.

Please give us some time, I'll bring this up in the next meeting on Monday; if possible, feel free to join us, the meetings are open to everyone interested. See the calendar on https://linuxboot.org :)
