altmbr: an alternative MBR which ignores the active flag

Impact: new feature

Create an alternative MBR which takes a partition number in byte 439
instead of looking at the active flag.  This is useful when
dual-booting legacy operating systems which assume that their
particular partition must be the active partition.
