[gPXE-devel] [PATCH] [geniso] Detect genisoimage as mkisofs replacement

Debian based systems may have genisoimage(1) instead of mkisofs(1).
They are command-line compatible so the util/geniso script should be
able to choose either one.

This patch also changes the use of the mkisofs quiet (-q) flag to its
long form (-quiet).  This should be compatible with more versions of
cdrtools and cdrkit.
