In the Syslinux view of the world, a zero-length file doesn't exist

ldlinux: CurrentDir not set if syslinux.cfg is missing
If a syslinux floppy does not contain a config file (syslinux.cfg) modules are
not being found unless specified with a directory prefix (e.g. /pcitest.c32).
The reason is that CurrentDir is only set if there is a config file present. This is a
possible regression since commit
68eefb79e2cbb590ebf958dd0c50ce00b941abd2.
Before this change RootDir was used in searchdir and now it's CurrentDir unless
the filename starts with '/'. Possible fix is to set CurrentDir to RootDir if no config
file is found.
Actually it seems better to move this to the top of the "check for config file" block.

Include the git ID in the build string
If we're doing an unofficial build from git, put the git id and a
dirty flag in the build string, instead of a timestamp. This is a lot
more useful.

memdisk: install a DPT if needed in INT 1Eh; better zero-drive detection
Per the Interrupt list, treat INT 13 08 returning with CL=0 as a
failure, meaning single drive only.
If we find ourselves the only floppy drive, install a DPT into INT
1Eh. This appears to be needed for PC-DOS 7.0 to boot. This can be
overridden with the "nodpt" option, and forced with the "dpt" option.
