Added "stage2-diskless" build

[Christoph Plattner]

With a little patch in `stage2/Makefile.am' a diskless version of
a stage2 is also built together with nbgrub and pxegrub, to load
the "diskless" version of GRUB locally from disk.

If a machine cannot have a BOOTROM, or if there is a problem
with etherboot/netboot, a boot floppy of the diskless GRUB can be
used. The GRUB boots locally, but does a BOOTP and a download
of the menu from the server (and of course also the OSes, ...)

The GRUB versions now:

local, normal:  [stage1/stage1] [stage2/stage2      = start     +
pre_stage2]
nbgrub                          [stage2/nbgrub      = nbloader  + diskless  ]
pxegrub                         [stage2/pxegrub     = pxeloader + diskless  ]
local, diskless:[stage1/stage1] [stage2/stage2-diskless = start +
diskless  ]

A boot floppy for diskless is GRUB is simply made by

        cat stage1/stage1 stage2/stage2-diskless > /dev/fd0

The `stage2-diskless' is together built with nbgrub and pxegrub, enabled
by
`--enable-diskless' as option in the configure script.

With friendly regardss
        Christoph Plattner
