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.
