[PVE-User] iPXE rom version update

[Thomas Lamprecht]

They don't had tagged an stable release in the last five years, and 
always include latest master maybe wouldn't be a good idea, as it can 
introduce bugs and complications with changes.
Have you an idea how they handle that, are there any releases which are 
considered as (somewhat) stable?
