FAT: allow 0xE9 near jump in fat_read_static_bpb()

Browse source

fat_read_static_bpb() only accepts a short jump as a valid bootstrap code
signature for DOS 1.x volumes when the dos1xfloppy mount option is used.

However, according to the Microsoft fatgen103.doc, the BS_jmpBoot field
has two allowed forms: 0xEB 0x??  0x90 (short jump + NOP) and 0xE9 0x?? 
0x??  (near jump).  The specification explicitly states that either form
is acceptable.

This patch relaxes the check to also accept 0xE9 as the first byte of the
jump instruction.
