[Qemu PATCH] add a boot option to do strict boot

[Amos Kong]

Current seabios will try to boot from selected devices first,
if they are all failed, seabios will also try to boot from
un-selected devices.

We need to make it configurable. I already posted a seabios
patch to add a new device type to halt booting. Qemu can add
"HALT" at the end of bootindex string, then seabios will halt
booting after trying to boot from selected devices.

This option only effects when boot priority is changed by
bootindex options, the old style(-boot order=..) will still
try to boot from un-selected devices.
