    v0.5.7 — legacy-BIOS boot-menu fix Pre-Release

    OpenPXE v0.5.7 — legacy-BIOS boot-menu fix

    The graphical PNG boot-menu background broke menu rendering on legacy
    BIOS     clients. The menu issued console --picture … || console, but on
    a no-PNG BIOS build (undionly.kpxe) the --picture attempt misbehaves
    before the || console fallback can recover — it tries to set a
    framebuffer mode the BIOS console can't honour.

    Fix: the background is now gated on iseq ${platform} efi, so BIOS
    clients never issue the command and drop straight to the plain text
    menu, while UEFI clients still get the graphical background. Automatic
    and per-client — a mixed BIOS+UEFI fleet each gets the right treatment,
    no toggle required.
