chain.c32: add support for booting the Recovery Console of Windows NT/2K/XP

The following patch for chain.c32 adds support to boot the Recovery Console of Windows NT/2K/XP.
Normally when you want to boot the recovery console, you need to patch "cmdcons\0" into the
bootsectorof the partition (8 bytes starting at 0x3 (4th byte)).

We can do this patching in memory:
  strcpy((char *) 0x7c03, "cmdcons");

To boot the recovery console with chain.c32:
  chain.c32 cmldr=/cmldr
