Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
--pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
<basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
have a config with a basename which already has a
suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
name.suffix
