Leah Rowe ce27bb0ea0 Add auto-boot timeout for U-Boot's bootflow menu
Otherwise, you have to press enter to boot your distro.

With this, a timeout is created. After a number of seconds,
which can be reconfigured, the first option selected will be booted,
when generating a bootflow menu.

The timeout is disabled when you navigate the menu; it only
kicks in if you don't input anything on the keyboard.

More information about how this works is in the U-Boot patches,
within this patch. I've set the timeout to 8 seconds.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Support auto-boot timeout delay bootflow menu
The bootflow menu cannot currently auto-boot a selected entry,
which means that the user must press enter to boot their system.
This can be a problem on headless setups; for example, it is not
currently feasible to set up a headless server with U-Boot, when
using it to boot via UEFI on a coreboot setup.
This patch adds the following build-time configuration option:
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTFLOW_BOOTDELAY
This creates a timeout delay in the given number of seconds.
If an arrow key is press to navigate the menu, the timer is
disabled and the user must then press enter to boot the selected
option. When this happens, the timeout display is replaced by
the old message indicating that the user should press enter.
The default boot delay is 30 seconds, and the timeout is enabled
by default. Setting it to zero will restore the old behaviour,
whereby no timeout is provided and the user must press enter.
If a negative integer is provided, the timer will default to
zero. The timer value is further filtered by modulus of 100,
so that the maximum number of seconds allowed is 99 seconds.
