Added simple 286 detection code.

This does not actually do anything except for informing the user that they have (presumable) a 286 acceleration board in there PC/XT machine.

I'm submitting this mainly for reference as I expect you would like to refactor the CPU detection code and generalize the CPU detection. There is a lot of things that seems to assume NOT 8088(6) means V20. So I don't have the guts to rewrite that atm. :)

Thanks for that! I have actually written the code to do 8086/V30/V40 specific detection, but it's not included due to the code size (>100 bytes IIRC) not able to fit into the main builds. I absolutely will keep this as reference since I do still want to get into a possible 286 version at some point soon. :)
