pxeboot: make the tftp loader use the option root-path directive
pxeboot in tftp loader mode (when built with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT) now
prefix all the path to open with the path obtained via the option 'root-path'
directive.
This allows to be able to use the traditional content /boot out of box. Meaning
it now works pretty much like all other loaders. It simplifies hosting hosting
multiple version of FreeBSD on a tftp server.
As a consequence, pxeboot does not look anymore for a pxeboot.4th (which was
never provided)
Note: that pxeboot in tftp loader mode is not built by default.
