OpenPXE v0.5.6 — boot-URL port hot fix

Bug fix for non-port-80 deployments. The base URL advertised to PXE
clients was built as http://<ip> with no port, ignoring
OPENPXE_HTTP_PORT. Since every client-facing URL derives from it — the
DHCP-proxy iPXE filename, UEFI HTTP boot, and the boot menu's
kernel/initrd/ISO links — any deployment on a non-80 port told clients
to fetch :80 (the wrong service). On Unraid that's the webGUI, which
301-redirects to https; iPXE (no TLS) then aborts the chain with
Operation not supported. This broke the exact setup the Unraid
template recommends (HTTP port 4200, chosen to avoid the webGUI).

Fix: the advertised base URL now includes the port unless it's 80 —
http://10.0.0.5 stays clean, http://10.0.0.5:4200 is reachable.
Regression-tested.
```
docker pull gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/openpxe:0.5.6   # or :latest
```
If you run OpenPXE on a non-80 HTTP port, re-pull and PXE boot works with
no other changes.
