[syslinux] Syslinux 4.06 released

[Matt Fleming]

Finally, the 4.06 release is out there. Thanks to everyone who helped by
submitting patches and testing! Peter snuck in a change at the last
minute that fixes the GCC 4.7 MinGW struct layout incompatibility in a
different way.

Here are the highlights of this release,

Changes in 4.06:
        * Support for NTFS, by Paulo Alcantara.
        * EXTLINUX: more robust device detection, allow user to override.
        * kontron_wdt.c32: Add a new module to enable the hardware
          watchdog of some Kontron boards. It allows enabling the watchdog
          and then booting a given image.
        * HDT updated, and now can display images regarding some detection
          steps. Add postexec command to run a particular entry after
          HDT's execution, add silent option and various fixes.
        * ifcpu.c32: Detect hypervisor presence.
        * lua.c32: Add dhcp support and support for native Syslinux
          functions syslinux_config(), syslinux_ipappend_strings() and
          syslinux_reboot().
        * isohybrid: Workaround for various EFI systems.
        * pxechn.c32, a PXE NBP chainloader.  More versatile alternative
          to pxechain.com and resolves the PXELINUX -> WDS issue with
          Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 (Gene Cumm).
        * btrfs: Fix booting off of a subvolume.
        * com32: Add device tree support.
        * SYSLINUX: Fix relative paths for VFAT. The CONFIG and APPEND
          directives now support entirely relative paths.
