cmd: pxe_utils: sysboot: add label override support
This will allow consumers to choose a pxe label at runtime instead of having to prompt the user. One good use-case for this, is choosing whether or not to apply a dtbo depending on the hardware configuration. e.g: for TI's AM335x EVM, it would be convenient to apply a particular dtbo only when the J9 jumper is on PRUSS mode. To achieve this, the pxe menu should have 2 labels, one with the dtbo and the other without, then the "pxe_label_override" env variable should point to the label with the dtbo at runtime only when the jumper is on PRUSS mode. This change can be used for different use-cases and bring more flexibilty to consumers who use sysboot/pxe_utils. if "pxe_label_override" is set but does not exist in the pxe menu, the code should fallback to the default label if given, and no failure is returned but rather a warning message.
