[syslinux] Syslinux-5.00-pre9

[Matt Fleming]

Folks,

I've just pushed out another prerelease for the 5.00 branch. The idea
behind this -pre was to merge in the final 4.06 release.

I'm aiming for a final 5.00 release next week, but as we saw with the
4.06 branch, anything can happen and these deadlines can get pushed
backwards. Please, test if you can.

One thing that is going to happen next week is a Syslinux-6.00-pre1,
which will include EFI support. More and more people are requesting a
prelease of this support, so it needs to be done.

Hung-chi Lihn (4):
      The current Lua.c32 does not enable io.read() due to some missing library functions. However, this strongly limits the Lua script from getting user inputs and reading files (even in pxelinux via TFTP).
      Added the native syslinux functions config_file(), ipappend_strs(), and reboot() to Lua.c32. This allows the Lua script to query the config file name and the ipappend strings (pxelinux only), as well as to perform reboot (warm and cold) to the system.
      Bug fix: Added the missing entry (boot_from_pcmcia) in struct s_characteristics.
      In the current Lua.c32 DMI implementation, it is a flat table with dotted names in table entries. It also misses a number DMI sub-tables.
