[PATCH 0/2] Autoboot prompt customization and bootmenu cosmetics

This is a small patch series to make the autoboot prompt configurable
regardless of if CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED is enabled, which is very useful
with a splash screen. My usecase is, with some ANSI magic, moving the
autoboot prompt to the very bottom of the screen and highlighted, with a
splash screen shown.
Something like this: https://ircb.dersco.re/uploads/funderscore/efa2a27132e56891
It feels wrong to require AUTOBOOT_KEYED only for that usecase.

Also, the bootmenu now prints ANSI_CLEAR_LINE before each entry, which
has the effect of highlighting the entire line entry on vidconsole, just
like eficonfig. I can drop that one if it's not very useful, just
thought it would look nice.
