*next* ends the definition of a boot image and starts a new one.
Any following -bootimage bootspecs will affect the new image. The
first "next" discards eventually loaded boot images and their
catalog.
CAUTION: xorriso cannot recognize the inner form of boot images.
So the user has already to know about the particular needs of the
boot images which are present on the input media.
If patching is enabled, then boot images from previous sessions
will be checked whether they seem to bear a boot info table. If
not, then they stay unpatched. This check is not infallible. So if
you do know that the images need no patching, use "any" "keep".
"grub" "patch" will not patch EFI images (platform_id=0xef).
Most safe is the default: -boot_image "any" "discard".
Advised for GRUB : -boot_image "grub" "patch"
For ISOLINUX : -boot_image "isolinux" "patch"
