    Added an option to let qemu transfer a configuration file to bios,
    "etc/boot-fail-wait", which could be specified by command
        -boot reboot-timeout=T
    T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms.
    
    With this option, guest will wait for a given time if not find
    bootabled device, then reboot. If reboot-timeout is '-1', guest
    will not reboot, qemu passes '-1' to bios by default.
    
    This feature need the new seabios's support.
    
    Seabios pulls the value from the fwcfg "file" interface, this
    interface is used because SeaBIOS needs a reliable way of
    obtaining a name, value size, and value. It in no way requires
    that there be a real file on the user's host machine.
