feat(syslinux): add safe graphics boot option with nomodeset kernel parameter

Browse Source 
Add a new boot menu entry for FWS without kernel mode setting (KMS) to provide a fallback option for systems where KMS causes issues. This entry uses the nomodeset kernel parameter to force the framebuffer to VESA/EFI mode, which is slower but more reliable for problematic GPU drivers and hypervisors like VMware.

Boot FWS WITHOUT kernel mode setting (safe graphics).
Use this if the normal boot freezes on a black/blank screen
(e.g. VMware Workstation vmwgfx hang).
