[comboot] Allow for tail recursion of COMBOOT images

Browse Source 
Multi-level menus via COMBOOT rely on the COMBOOT program being able
to exit and invoke a new COMBOOT program (the next menu).  This works,
but rapidly (within about five iterations) runs out of space in gPXE's
internal stack, since each new image is executed in a new function
context.

Fix by allowing tail recursion between images; an image can now
specify a replacement image for itself, and image_exec() will perform
the necessary tail recursion.
