Bug#1065564: debian-edu-config: LTSP clients: all kernel logs are shown during boot

Hi Mike,

FIX
it works only for Diskless Workstation (server's SquashFS image)
and doesn't work for Plain X2Go Thin Client modes
```
/srv/tftp/ltsp# diff ltsp-old.ipxe ltsp.ipxe
68c68
< set cmdline ${cmdline_method} ${cmdline_ltsp} ${cmdline_client}
---
> set cmdline ${cmdline_method} ${cmdline_ltsp} ${cmdline_client} splash
```

I've tried to find where I could add 'splash' in debian-edu-config, but
didn't found.
Could it be that the file `ltsp.ipxe` is used as a template from the
ltsp.org project without any changes around the `cmdline`-variables?
