    loader: Add WITH/WITHOUT_LOADER_PXEBOOT build option
    
    Make it possible to disable pxeboot. This loader will fail to build when
    it's too large. When /boot/loader needs to be larger like that, this
    options will disable a component whose build will fail. It is an explicit
    option rather than implicit when things are too large to force the user to
    make the explicit tradeoffs rather than wonder why they have a stale pxeboot
    or other odd failure mode.
