there are several files of which identical duplicate copies are held in:
- share/bootloaders/extlinux
- share/bootloaders/pxelinux
- share/bootloaders/isolinux
- share/bootloaders/syslinux
it is a pain to maintain this from a development standpoint, having to
copy modified config files into the other directories each time changes
are made and mistakes have been made before due to this.
this creates a new folder share/bootloaders/syslinux_common and moves them
to this new directory.
it also expands the binary_syslinux stage to use it, with it now
constructing the installed set of bootloader files as follows:
1. copy {LB_DIR}/bootloaders/syslinux_common
2. copy {LB_DIR}/bootloaders/{syslinux|isolinux|extlinux|pxelinux} on top
3. copy config/bootloaders/syslinux_common on top
4. copy config/bootloaders/{syslinux|isolinux|extlinux|pxelinux} on top
note, to explain part of the binary_syslinux change, instead of just
copying the correct bootloader folder full of the files, we now make the
target bootloader specific directory, then copy the contents of source
directories into it.

* Use same menu labels
* Use same hotkeys
* Get rid of a nested menu that is not present in grub
* Add "menu title" statement to hide the caret of the hotkey (^)

0bf9d2d390e2d031ebe344050d8766ba7cd9ad54 expanded the set of install
options, whilst also moving them all to a submenu.
it has since been raised that this is not actually what is wanted, that
having an entry for the most common install option is wanted at the top
level, like currently with grub2.
this adds such an entry.

for some reason the syslinux folder one had these but not the others.
probably a result of having four separate copies of the files and this
part of the past change to expand the install menus failed to be
duplicated.

this reverts commit 0cef87ffca0e9d89ac1f8e0098f890f2eefd3559 though
retaining the 'advanced options' menu entry using a label rather than a
title.
despite having done a lot of testing back in 2015 with my bootloader
improvements, i notice now that in fact the syslinux caret fix has an
undesired side effect of modifying the title displayed above the menus. it
does not help that the text embedded into the splash overlaps with this
menu title; perhaps this explains why i missed this problem back in 2015.
purely reverting the implemented fix solves this title problem, but
restores the caret problem to the advanced options menu (in menu.cfg);
however that menu was using a caret in a title entry, unlike everywhere
else where they are only used with labels, which must have been the
original source of the problem all along. ensuring that this menu uses a
label instead of a title in this reversion leaves everything working
correctly afaict.

d-i removed this in commit 0917b2dde3ff73a204d27dd2f2fffc8a41175ddd
Note: There was inconsistency between grub and syslinux in use of this, with
syslinux not having it on graphical rescue and auto modes while grub entries
did. The patch to fix that has been dropped since we're removing it everywhere
anyway.

Fixes the following
- Correct version (memtest86/memtest86+) shown instead of fixed 'memtest86+' text
- Ensure correct directory path always used by using replaceable placeholder

Appears before a timestamp which reflects when the image was built, so 'built' is more correct than 'build' here.

LB_DEBIAN_INSTALLER_GUI defines whether or not to provide the graphical
installer. the installer_debian-installer script pays attention to it and
does not download it if not wanted. the actual bootloaders however
(both grub2/loopback and syslinux) ignore it, which leaves broken and
unwanted menu entries. this fixes that.

debian-cd changed it that way, we already have it that way in EFI
boot, let's be consistent.

They are required for the "Hardware Detection Tool (HDT)" menu entry that
live-build adds in the advanced menu.
