The existing distro scripts check extlinux and scripts before EFI. Adjust
the default ordering to do the same, to avoid breaking existing flows.
Add some documentation, mentioning that this order will likely change in
future.

Using relative path in a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file fails to load
linux kernel.
Using a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file:
LABEL test
LINUX ../linux/Image
Result in following error:
Retrieving file: ../linux/Image
Skipping test for failure retrieving kernel
Boot failed (err=-14)
However, using sysboot cmd successfully load kernel using same file:
sysboot mmc 1:1 any ${scriptaddr} /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
Retrieving file: /boot/extlinux/../linux/Image
Fix relative path using bootmeth extlinux by supplying bootfile path
instead of subdir path in the call to pxe_setup_ctx, same as done in the
sysboot command.

We use the terms 'distro' to mean extlinux but they are not really the
same. 'Distro' could refer to any method of booting a distribution,
whereas extlinux is a particular method.
Also we sometimes use syslinux, but it is better to use the same term in
all cases.
Rename distro to syslinux and also update bootstd uses of syslinux to use
extlinux instead.
