[PATCH 3/3] boot: allow booting by bootspec absolute path

When multiple bootloader spec files are available, the first match in
lexical order will be the one to autoboot. Users can customize which one
to use interactively via boot -m, but no means to select a different by
default exists. Allow for this by having the boot command not only
accept a directory to search for bootloader spec entries in, but also
the path of a single bootloader spec file. This aligns it with what we
have for bootscripts, where both directories containing boot scripts
and the path to a specific boot script is understood.
