Replaced some 'eCS' references with generic 'OS/2' [v1.1.1-testing]

With the upcoming ArcaOS, see: https://www.arcanoae.com, eComStation
ain't the only game in OS/2-town anymore. So, some references have been
changed to the more generic term 'OS/2' to prevent misinterpretation.

CAUTION:
This is a testbuild !
AirBoot uses the BIOS to access disks and a small coding error can trash
partition tables or other vital disk structures. You are advised to make
backups of TRACK0 and EBRs before using this testbuild. More info at:
