Hi Patrick,

I'm not convinced that cbfs_optionrom is the right path.  I envision
storing splash screens, config files, and disk images in addition to
option roms.  I don't want to add cbfs support for each new file.

In any case, a simple filename test is only a few lines of code, so I
added it to SeaBIOS.  It can be changed if it needs to.

Latest SeaBIOS git will take either an uncompressed rom (eg,
"pci1013,00b8.rom") or an lzma compressed rom (eg,
"pci1013,00b8.rom.lzma").
