Enable basic command line editing in amd64 installer shells
When a user selects "exist installer" or hits ^Z in sysinst, the calling install.sh runs a shell, plus shows a message indicating they can type "exit" to return to the installer.
Add -E to the arguments to this shell, to enable command line editing, (primarily for arrow keys, but basic emacs sequences will also work)
At this point this is only on amd64, as this is the port which is least likely to be installing on particularly esoteric terminal hardware, and is also likely to have the highest proportion of less experienced users

branches: 1.1.2; Restore having a BIOS-only amd64 USB image.
Several people reported having hardware that struggles booting the mix EFI+BIOS image, and it's better to offer them a working image.
Keeping the EFI image as having the obvious name, this is going to become more likely to work by default as newer hardware may not support BIOS boot.
