syslinux: improve isohybrid to process extra sector count for ISO 9660 image

Due to commit [cdrtools-native: fix booting EFI ISO live failed]
applied to improve mkisofs to fix nsectors exceeds 0xffff situation
which set selection criteria type = 2 and save extra nsectors to
vendor unique selection criteria

In following case, add 64MB extra space to bootable image efi.img,
and the partition table of EFI is truncated to 32M

$ echo 'IMAGE_FSTYPES:pn-core-image-minimal = " live"' >> conf/local.conf
$ echo 'MACHINE_FEATURES:append = " efi pcbios"' >> conf/local.conf
$ echo '# 64MB extra space to bootable image efi.img' >> conf/local.conf
$ echo 'BOOTIMG_EXTRA_SPACE = "65535"' >> conf/local.conf
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
$ fdisk -l tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/core-image-minimal-qemux86-64.rootfs.iso

After applying this patch to process extra sector count, the partition
table of EFI is 90.3M

Subject: [PATCH] Add extra sector count from section entry for EFI catalogue
According to page 11: `Figure 5 - Section Entry' in El Torito Bootable
CD-ROM Format Specification [1]. The sector count tooks 2 byte which
means max sector count is 0xffff (65535), for 512-byte sector, the
size of bootable image is no more than 32MB (65536 * 512 / 1024 / 1024)
If the size of efi.img > 32MB, the partition table will be truncated
in ISO, which caused UEFI system or grub-efi read efi.img broken
occasionally.
This patch extend efi_count, mac_count and count to 4 byte int, if
Yocto defines `Selection criteria type = 2', add extra sector count
to original sector count as total count; for other situation, still use
original sector count as usual

Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [Yocto specific]
