    public/hvm_xs_strings.h: Fix ABI regression for OEM SMBios strings
    
    The old code for OEM SMBios strings was:
    
            char path[20] = "bios-strings/oem-XX";
            path[(sizeof path) - 3] = '0' + ((i < 10) ? i : i / 10);
            path[(sizeof path) - 2] = (i < 10) ? '\0' : '0' + (i % 10);
    
    Where oem-1 thru 9 specifically had no leading 0.
    
    However, the definition of HVM_XS_OEM_STRINGS specifically requires leading
    0s.
    
    This regression was introduced by the combination of c/s 4d23036e709627 and
    e64c3f71ceb662
    
    I realise that this patch causes a change to the public headers.  However I
    feel it is justified as:
    
    * All toolstacks used to have to embed the magic string (and almost 
certainly
      still do)
    * If by some miriacle a new toolstack has started using the new define will
      continue to work.
    * The only intree consumer of the define is hvmloader itself.
