PXELINUX: Add bios memscan function

We can mark the memory region occupied by the PXE stack as SMT_TERMINAL
provided that KeepPXE isn't set. Historically some very old
non-relocatable kernel images (memtest86+) have a load address that
falls within the PXE stack region, so we need to attempt to load into
that region if at all possible.
