Gonéri Le Bouder 42dc6a341a ipxe: retry on failure

If ipxe fails to boot download kernel/initrd, it will give up and the
boot process will continue with the next boot device, and may end up
with a boot on the old disk image.

If ipxe has failed to download a file and after the pxe/ipxe_timeout
delay, it will now retry to download it instead of giving up.

This goto/retry pattern is common with IPXE. This is an example:
  http://ipxe.org/cmd/autoboot

We can hardly implement complex solutions since we have a very limited
control over the ipxe version in use.

   - ipxe will now retry to download the kernel or the initrd in case
     of failure. The previous behavior was to give up and continue the
     boot on the next boot device.
