        Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios:
    "bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command
        -boot splash=P,splash-time=T
    P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit
    is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then
    a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example:
        qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000
    would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process.
    This feature need the new seabios's support, which could be got from git.
