[image] Allow for zero embedded images

Having a default script containing

  #!gpxe
  autoboot

can cause problems when entering commands to load and start a kernel
manually; the default script image will still be present when the
kernel is started and so will be treated as an initrd.  It is possible
to work around this by typing "imgfree" before any other commands, but
this is counter-intuitive.

Fix by allowing the embedded image list to be empty (in which case we
just call autoboot()), and making this the default.
