like floppy or CD boot.
This allows it to reduce the number of scans needed to identify the boot
partition - when booted from a real floppy, this speeds up the boot
process by a magnitude.
Also, the loader now has a fall back in case there were no "boot" links
on the disk - the current boot floppy script doesn't create them.
With these changes, I was able to boot into a HD based Haiku installation
from a floppy disk. It's not yet enough to boot from CD (as the boot
device selection is a bit too simplistic right now), but it will eventually
come next. Testing is a lot slower here, though, as neither qemu nor
Bochs support multi-session CDs (at least I have no idea how to get them
to do this).

add_partitions_for(), though).
The partition now also tracks if it refers to a partitioning system or not.

The Partition class now maintains a module name, accessible via the new
method ModuleName().

systems in order to retrieve some parameters.
Changed the get_file_system() call to accept a Partition instead of just
a node.
Introduced the namespace boot to the public headers; I guess I should
put all classes in there (compilation of the intel partitioning system
fails without the namespace, because it defines a class Partition itself).

New Directory class for use in file systems; file systems need to publish
their root directory as a subclass of this class.
