The common datetime helper functions are currently included in the normal
module, but this makes any other module that calls these functions to have
a dependency with the normal module only for this reason.
Since the normal module does a lot of stuff, it calls functions from other
modules. But since other modules may depend on it for calling the datetime
helpers, this could lead to circular dependencies between modules.
As an example, when platform == xen the grub_get_datetime() function from
the datetime module calls to the grub_unixtime2datetime() helper function
from the normal module. Which leads to the following module dependency:
datetime -> normal
and send_dhcp_packet() from the net module calls the grub_get_datetime()
function, which leads to the following module dependency:
net -> datetime -> normal
but that means that the normal module is not allowed to depend on net or
any other module that depends on it due the transitive dependency caused
by datetime. A recent patch attempted to add support to fetch the config
file over the network, which leads to the following circular dependency:
normal -> net -> datetime -> normal
So having the datetime helpers in the normal module makes it quite fragile
and easy to add circular dependencies like these, that break the build due
the genmoddep.awk script catching the issues.
Fix this by taking the datetime helper functions out of the normal module
and instead add them to the datetime module itself. Besides fixing these
issues, it makes more sense to have these helper functions there anyways.

Some terminals, like `grub-core/term/at_keyboard.c`, return `-1` in case
they are not ready yet.
if (! KEYBOARD_ISREADY (grub_inb (KEYBOARD_REG_STATUS)))
return -1;
Currently, that is treated as a key press, and the menu time-out is
cancelled/cleared. This is unwanted, as the boot is stopped and the user
manually has to select a menu entry. Therefore, adapt the condition to
require the key value also to be greater than 0.
`GRUB_TERM_NO_KEY` is defined as 0, so the condition could be collapsed
to greater or equal than (≥) 0, but the compiler will probably do that
for us anyway, so keep the cases separate for clarity.
This is tested with coreboot, the GRUB default payload, and the
configuration file `grub.cfg` below.
For GRUB:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-platform=coreboot
$ make -j`nproc`
$ make default_payload.elf
For coreboot:
$ more grub.cfg
serial --unit 0 --speed 115200
set timeout=5
menuentry 'halt' {
halt
}

Currently, the time-out is cancelled/cleared. With the commit, it is not.
With a small GRUB payload, this the problem is also reproducible on the
ASRock E350M1.

framework and its users will be able to differentiate files and verify
only required ones.

When running grub in a VGA console of a KVM pseries guest on PowerPC,
you can see the cursor sweeping over the whole line when entering a
character in editor mode. This is visible because grub always refreshes
the whole line when entering a character in editor mode, and drawing
characters is quite a slow operation with the firmware used for the
powerpc pseries guests (SLOF).
To avoid this ugliness, the cursor should be disabled when refreshing
the screen contents during update_screen().

If configfile is relative pathname, extend it with current ($root) so its
interpretation does not change if $root is changed later.
Suggested by Vladimir Serbienko.
Defalut font color on PC console seems to be light-gray; this is
what user also gets in rescue prompt and what is defined as
GRUB_TERM_DEFAULT_NORMAL_COLOR. But normal.mod defaults to white.
This makes unpleasant visual effect as colors are changed after kernel
is booted.
Use the same color eveywhere for consistency and default to light-gray
as this is also what at least Linux kernel is using by default.
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.
off new function grub_script_execute_new_scope. Change callers to use
either of them as appropriate.
