rGe179ee000ef2: loader: Add WITH/WITHOUT_LOADER_PXEBOOT build option
rG20d35d581785: loader: Add WITH/WITHOUT_LOADER_PXEBOOT build option

Summary

Make it possible to disable pxeboot. This loader will fail to build when
it's too large. When /boot/loader needs to be larger like that, this
options will disable a component whose build will fail. It is an explicit
option rather than implicit when things are too large to force the user to
make the explicit tradeoffs rather than wonder why they have a stale pxeldr
or other odd failure mode.

tools/build/options/WITH_LOADER_PXELDR
1 ↗	(On Diff #141742)	pkeldr is the loader that lives inside of pxeboot. But most people just know about pxeboot, so I'm renaming the new args to match.
