This MBR blob will look for an active partition, and boot the bootcode
present in that partition. This can be used to boot an extlinux-prepared
partition.

syslinux can now also build an EFI application.
If the target is 64-bit, we build the 64-bit EFI app,
otherwise we build the 32-bit EFI app.

Rewrite the options prompt in preparation to adding a new
type of image to install.
Add help entries to each option, too.

Currently it is possible to choose either, both or none of
the pxelinux or isolinux images.
But it does not make sense to build none or both, as we need
at least one to boot the target, and the target can not use
more than one.
So, we need one and only one image to be selected at once.

The pxelinux and isolionux images are 32-bit binaries, so we need a
compiler that can generate them (ie. a compiler that understands -m32).

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

Moreover, the installation of pxelinux and/or isolinux is now handled
as suboptions, like we traditionally do for other packages. This allows
to have a single option (BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX) that enables the
syslinux package.
