[syslinux] [pxelinux] fix for Realtek PXE implementation

I found (and fixed) a problem with my realtek onboard 8139 controller.
dhcpd server sends filename "pxelinux.0" but realtek requests
"pxelinux.0\377"
(i.e. the octal character 377 is appended), resulting in a file not found
during
the tftpd phase.

I fixed this by adding a mapping to tftpd:

# strip ending garbage from filenames (Realtek PXE bug)
r ^([[:graph:]]*)(.+)$ \1

maybe this should go in the PXELINUX docs.  I don't think the
mapping hurts any already working configs, so it can be safely
added.
