Daniel Kahn Gillmor bf94ef7fbd documentation: Clarify documentation for special environment variable "default".
The current documentation for the special environment variable
"default" is confusing and unclear.  This patch attempts to clean it
up.

In particular, the current documentation refers to the "number or
title", but then in the example it gives, the menu entries and
submenus all have numbers *in* their title; furthermore, there is no
example given about how to choose the number, or any indication about
whether counting is zero-indexed or 1-indexed.

Having a cleaner example and presenting all variants (numeric, title,
and id) should make it clearer to the user.

README

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
