utils: implement BIOS boot for Linux

Create a bios.py file to hold all the BIOS specific functions.
Implement the _boot_bios_linux in Python. The new boot process
tries to find the vmlinuz and initrd binaries at the desired
partition. Then it tries to load them with kexec with the proper
Grub boot params.
One step closer to the removal of the boot legacy script.
