[vram] Add "vram" built-in setting to dump video RAM
The "vram" setting returns the (Base64-encoded) contents of video RAM, and can be used to capture a screenshot. For example: after running memtest.0 and encountering an error, the output can be captured and sent to a remote server for later diagnosis: #!ipxe chain -a http://server/memtest.0 && goto ok || goto bad :bad params param errno ${errno} param vram ${vram} chain -a http://server/report.php##params :ok Inspired-by: Christian Nilsson <nikize@gmail.com> Originally-implemented-by: Christian Nilsson <nikize@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
