Concerns were raised, that skipping the boot menu, if only one device is
present might make debugging issues more difficult. So, extend the
current runtime configuration option `etc/show-boot-menu` by enabling
this feature by setting it to 2.
Fixes: 29ee1fb8 ("Skip boot menu and timeout with only one boot device")

+| show-boot-menu | Controls the display of the boot menu. Valid values
are 0: Disable the boot menu, 1: Display boot menu unconditionally, 2: Skip
boot menu if only one device is present. The default is 1.
| boot-menu-message | Customize the text boot menu message. Normally, when
in text mode SeaBIOS will report the string "\\nPress ESC for boot
menu.\\n\\n". This field allows the string to be changed. (This is a string
field, and is added as a file containing the raw string.)
| boot-menu-key | Controls which key activates the boot menu. The value
stored is the DOS scan code (eg, 0x86 for F12, 0x01 for Esc). If this field is
set, be sure to also customize the **boot-menu-message** field above.
| boot-menu-wait | Amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait at the boot
menu prompt before selecting the default boot.
