Dubiousjim 5eebfc3d65 main/syslinux: add Hardware Detection Tool entry
HDT provides a curses-like interface to display lots of hardware info
about your machine at bootloader time.

We don't install /boot/hdt.c32, but if it's present (it can be copied from
/usr/share/syslinux/hdt.c32), we add a menu entry for it---in preference to,
rather than in addition to, memtest, since HDT has a menu entry which invokes
memtest.

Using HDT to its full capacity requires finding or generating modules.pcimap
and pci.ids files for your machine, and installing them in /boot. We might want
to document this, which I don't here (but the online docs for HDT do). These
aren't required to use other functionality of HDT; and it's pretty useful
already without those.
