Add configure option to bypass boot menu if possible

If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the
menu.  Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if
available to check whether Shift is pressed.  If it is, show the menu,
otherwise boot immediately.  If keystatus is not available, then fall
back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.

This may or may not remain Ubuntu-specific, although it's not obviously
wanted upstream.  It implements a requirement of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec#Bootloader.

If the previous boot failed (defined as failing to get to the end of one
of the normal runlevels), then show the boot menu regardless.

Adjust efi_distributor for some distributions

This is not a very good approach, and certainly not sanely upstreamable;
we probably need to split GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR into a couple of different
variables.

Add configure option to reduce visual clutter at boot time

If this option is enabled, then do all of the following:

Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
actually offering a shell prompt.  (This is believed to be a workaround
for a different bug.  We'll go with this for now, but will drop this in
favour of a better fix upstream if somebody figures out what that is.)

Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in
the first place.

Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration.  In some
ways this is awkward because it makes debugging harder, but it's a
requirement for a smooth-looking boot process; we may be able to do
better in future.  Upstream doesn't want this, though.

Disable the cursor as well, for similar reasons of tidiness.

Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.

Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down.  Upstream
doesn't want this, as it makes debugging harder.  Ubuntu wants it to
provide a cleaner boot experience.

Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be
inappropriately enabled.  In any case, with the current Linux kernel the
result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print
anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up
dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the
screen.  As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter
what kernel options are enabled.

gfxpayload=keep is a good idea but rather ahead of its time ...
