feat: add human-friendly entry point
* Added /start as entry point, for humans and iPXE The '/poll/1/${netX/mac:hexhyp}' is fairly iPXE internal, not something that invites curious people to look better at shoelaces. Neither it is looking nice in DHCP server configuration. This change adds a HTTP handler for '/start'. And '/start' points to '/poll/1/${netX/mac:hexhyp}'. The benefit of it is that human visible documentation can replace the "voodoo" '/poll/1/${netX/mac:hexhyp}' with "friendly" '/start'. Because it is an addition are the existing HTTP handlers not effected, neither the installed deployments effected. Signed-off-by: Geert Stappers <stappers@stappers.it>
