This series adds unit tests and Python test wrappers for the
PXE/extlinux configuration parser and associated logic.

- Basic parsing of extlinux.conf files and label properties
- The 'say' keyword for printing messages during parsing
- Include directives and nested includes (up to MAX_NEST_LEVEL)
- The sysboot command for booting via extlinux.conf
- fdtdir path resolution using environment variables
- FDT overlay loading and error handling
- Helper functions (pxe_get_file_size, format_mac_pxe, get_pxelinux_path)
- The pxe_timeout environment variable for menu timeout override
- ipappend functionality for IP and MAC address appending
- FDT fallback logic extraction
- The pxe_label_override environment variable
- LMB address allocation when no address env vars are set

The tests use the usual hybrid approach: a Python fixtures to create
filesystem images with extlinux.conf files and a C unit-test to perform
the actual parsing and verification. This allows testing the parser APIs
directly without needing to boot a real kernel.
