COMBOOT API: Add calls for directory functions; Implement for FAT
COMBOOT API: Add calls for directory functions; Implement most only for FAT (SYSLINUX). Uses INT 22h AX= 001Fh, 0020h, 0021h and 0022h to prepare for the COM32 C functions getcwd(), opendir(), readdir(), and closedir(), respectively. INT22h, AX=001Fh will return a valid value for all variants. INT22h, AX= 0020h, 0021h, and 0022h are only implemented for SYSLINUX while other variants will call comapi_err for these 3.
