This series of patches adds a nice BIOS startup splash screen.

It adds a "-splash" option allowing to specify the picture file name (a 640x480 
(or less) and true color PNG) to display.

Maybe having a default splash image in the same directory as the BIOS
binary, with hardcoded path, would make sense?  Then instead of adding
-splash you could override with -L.  A linux distribution could
override it too.

I think we should leave -splash to allow people to control it but I also like the idea of having a default splash for QEMU. If someone out there is good with gimp, please post splash screens and we can consider a default :-)

N.B. If we do this, the prompt=off stuff would disable the splash. We should also prevent the VGA BIOS from writing to the screen during boot but we can do this all as follow up.
