Split SYSLINUX configuration into per-kernel configuration files
Slightly simplifies adding boot loader configuration for more kernels.
Unfortunately the INCLUDE statement doesn't support wildcards, so each new file must be manually included in the main syslinux configuration file (syslinux.cfg for baseline and archiso_sys.cfg for releng).

Copy files more generically
configs/*:
Copy all files that do not need a rename generically (not specifying a destination file name).
Do not rename vmlinuz-linux to vmlinuz or vmlinuz.efi (as this serves no purpose and makes the scripts more
complicated).
Do not rename microcode (i.e. {amd,intel}-ucode.img) when copying them and change all boot loader configuration files
that assume a renamed microcode image.
Add note and link to Arch Linux wiki to state why memtest.bin is renamed to memtest.
Copy license files for {amd,intel}-ucode and memtest more generically by placing them into subdirectories with the same
name as the package (to circumenvent overwriting one other).

Closes #33
