Changes

• Extract BCD, boot.sdi, and standard boot font files automatically from the .wim image.

• Use paging and Physical Address Extensions (PAE) to place the initrd above 4GB if possible, thereby allowing larger .wim images to be used on BIOS systems (sponsored by Digital Intelligence).

• Enable stack protection for both BIOS and UEFI builds.

• Tidy up debug output that typically disrupts the loading screen progress bar.

• Add quiet command-line option to inhibit all debug output (sponsored by 2Pint Software).

• Create fully automated tests of an HTTP boot via iPXE and wimboot into multiple versions of Windows.

• Migrate from Travis CI to GitHub actions.
