dec7718878 Clarify use of superusers variable and menu entry access
superusers controls both CLI and editing. Also explicitly mention that
empty superusers disables them.

"Access to menuentry" is a bit vague - change to "execute menuentry"
to make it obvious, what access is granted.

a666c8bd18 bootp: ignore gateway_ip (relay) field.
From RFC1542:

   The 'giaddr' field is rather poorly named.  It exists to facilitate
   the transfer of BOOTREQUEST messages from a client, through BOOTP
   relay agents, to servers on different networks than the client.
   Similarly, it facilitates the delivery of BOOTREPLY messages from the
   servers, through BOOTP relay agents, back to the client.  In no case
   does it represent a general IP router to be used by the client.  A
   BOOTP client MUST set the 'giaddr' field to zero (0.0.0.0) in all
   BOOTREQUEST messages it generates.

   A BOOTP client MUST NOT interpret the 'giaddr' field of a BOOTREPLY
   message to be the IP address of an IP router.  A BOOTP client SHOULD
   completely ignore the contents of the 'giaddr' field in BOOTREPLY
   messages.

Leave code ifdef'd out for the time being in case we see regression.

8f236c1419 Revamp hidden timeout handling
Add a new timeout_style environment variable and a corresponding
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE configuration key for grub-mkconfig.  This
controls hidden-timeout handling more simply than the previous
arrangements, and pressing any hotkeys associated with menu entries
during the hidden timeout will now boot the corresponding menu entry
immediately.

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=<non-empty> + GRUB_TIMEOUT=<non-zero> now
generates a warning, and if it shows the menu it will do so as if
the second timeout were not present.  Other combinations are
translated into reasonable equivalents.
