[Bug 916494] [NEW] Please put ipxe.krn to the desktop CD

Please put ipxe.lkrn as a boot option in the isolinux menu of the live
CDs, so that they can be used to netboot computers, either for network-
based installation, or as LTSP clients, etc.

The embedded iPXE script would do this:
1) autoboot (that's an iPXE command)
2) on failure, if no boot server exists on the local network, use http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ to download the kernel via http and to start a network installation without downloading or burning mini.iso.

It will only add a few Kb on the .iso, and it will make possible e.g. to
reuse the 12.04 CDs to netboot and install 14.04.

I can write the iPXE boot script if there's interest in it.
