[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v2 0/6] add F11 shortcut for network boot

This series adds a shortcut for network boot, similar to what is present
on bare-metal machines.  F11 will prioritize BCV/BEV entries for network
devices over all the other items of the boot list.

After testing with a more recent QEMU I found that it deploys a BCV ROM
that breaks network boot.  So this series has two extra patches that
track the PCI class for boot entries; this is then used to filter boot
entries for network boot.  A better choice of priorities for BCV and
BEV is also implemented (patch 3).

After Peter Stuge's prod, I reorganized interactive_bootmenu to use a
switch statement, and split the reindentation away in a separate patch.
