[core] fix MBR protective message overwriting the primary GPT
* We distractedly chose to populate the message from our protective MBR
  for GPT/UEFI-only boot media into the 4KB that directly followed the
  MBR, which of course is space that is being used by the primary GPT.
* This resulted on systems having to fall back to using the secondary
  GPT, which not all appear to be designed to do.
* Alter the code to ensure the protective message is written at LBA 34,
  after the primary GPT.
* Closes #1507

[mbr] replace gpt.S with a more generic msg.S
* msg.S now reads an ASCII message (with escaped colour sequences)
  from the following blocks, which is both more flexible and allows
  for more content to be displayed.
* Also adds Bochs testing to the MBR build facility
