syslinux: *.cfg tweaks

- parameter order fixed to "simple first, then those with args" and documented as the preferred one (might be debatable, okay) - added "lowmem" to live so it avoids a ramdisk but works off media (it's a knob for propagator) - added "fastboot" everywhere (but failsafe install) to make use of Linux 2.6.29+ async controller initialization - every snippet got a trailing newline so that isolinux.cfg is readable And a fancy makefile to check for shortcut dups!

+Здесь хранятся кусочки конфигурации для syslinux,
+нужные из которых копируются с подстановкой значений
+из метапрофиля в профиль и уже там в зависимости от
+доступных модулей собираются в конфигурационный файл.
+
+При изменении или добавлении просьба по оформлению
+с тем, чтобы легче было отсматривать и сводить:
+
+- параметры append перечисляются в следующем порядке:
+  + initrd=...
+  + по алфавиту те, что без аргументов
+  + по алфавиту те, что имеют аргументы
+- в конце файла пустая строка
+
+Для проверки уникальности клавиатурных сокращений
+служит команда "make check".
