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

The "safe hook" structure ("Safe Master Boot Record INT 13h Hook Routines")

the way.  For MEMDISK, we guarantee an additional field which holds the

parameters the OS will want to know about.  The mBFT points back at the
