There are two small bugs in the pxelinux.cfg parser:

1. If the file does not end with a '\n', the code set 'eol = cfg + cfgsize'
and later wrote a NUL character to *eol, i.e. it wrote the NUL character
beyond the end of the buffer. We've got to use 'eol = cfg + cfgsize - 1'
instead.

2. The code always replaced the last byte of the buffer with a NUL character
to get a proper termination. If the config file ends with a required character
(e.g. the last line is a KERNEL or INITRD line and the file does not have
a '\n' at the end), the last character got lost. Move the obligation for the
terminating NUL character to the caller instead so that we can be sure to
have a proper terminated buffer in pxelinux_parse_cfg() without the need to
blindly overwrite the last character here.
