HDT 0.3.2 is out and mainly add a better disk management

My previous work on disks was a little bit limited and incomplete.
Since pierre did a massive rework that allow hdt to feature disks &
partitions detection.

On the menu side, the "Disk" menu is now extended to show disks' partitions.
On the cli side, we now have more commands :

hdt> show disk
This command will show a basic output of available disks.

hdt> disk
This command enable the disk mode

disk> show disks
This command list all available disks

disk> show disk 0x80
Display the maximum information of disk 0x80
This output includes disk' partitions.

0.3.2 is also featuring the modules.alias compatibility. This item was
requested by users, this is now implemented.
By default, hdt tries to open both modules.pcimap & modules.alias to
find the associated kernel modules.
To override the default values, users can use the
modules_pcimap=<filename> and modules_alias=<filename> boot options.

Some minor visual improvements/bug fixes were also done regarding the
VPD, PCI & memory display.

Note that hdt's menu is now using the full screen instead of having a 
black line at the bottom of the screen.

Enjoy this release !
