fba30e0675 docs update
Rather minor fixups for things changed in the meanwhile and not
yet (re)documented properly; and a change for memtest feature
to require syslinux feature (the code's been changed to fit
the updated description, actually, and the change is purely
formal as no syslinux alternative is being used/planned so far).

69d5133a3b image.in/vars.mk: dump distcfg variables nicely
distcfg.mk is nice for tracing the variable values' build-up,
but it's more useful to have a look at the final result sometimes.
So here it is, logged for each build and callable by hand.

Implementation based on m-p-d::profiles/scripts.d/03-syslinux
(but heavily modified for m-p of course)

878abab5ce clean.mk and friends: introduced CLEAN control variable
make CLEAN=1 will prune workdirs after packing their results,
so disk (or preferably tmpfs) usage will be lower

3f012958dc server-ovz; KDEFAULT; syslinux features reworked
Renamed server-light.iso into server-ovz.iso to avoid brand dilution
and confusion (rider@'s server-light rather favours kvm, anyways).

Introduced KDEFAULT: a reliable default kernel chooser knob
since apt's regex ordering proved pretty unreliable.
Spelling things explicitly is better anyways.

SYSLINUX related features undergone pretty major rewrite
(that includes syslinux, hdt and memtest).

The problem to tackle was features.in/syslinux/generate.mk
assuming syslinux and pciids available in build *host* system;
this well might not be the case (or worse yet, those can be
just different).  So now we're a bit less elegant and a bit
more enterprise, stuffing things into chroot and working there.

Bunch of other fixes along the road, including ; to name a few:
- fixed memtest entry (overlooked while renaming SYSLINUX_ITEMS)
- new and shiny doc/CodingStyle
- gfxboot, stage1 target chain, hdt tweaks
- distro.mk rehashed
- README++
- TODO: dropped (integer overflow anyways)
  + actually moved off-tree to reduce commit spam
- s,\.config\.mk,distcfg.mk,g
- doc/profiles.mk.sample: sample ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk
- ...and assorted fixups/additions

Sorry for convoluted commit, this would have been pretty hard to
rework into some really readable shape (and you might be interested
in the original repo's history horrors then, anyways).
