Add firmware setup menu entry on EFI grub platforms.
Description of the change
Add firmware setup menu entry on EFI grub platforms.

What's the rationale for a firmware setup menu entry? On installed systems, we offer this because if UEFI fastboot is enabled it may be the only way to select a non-default boot option. But how would a system with UEFI fastboot have ever booted the installer image in the first place? And, having booted it, why would the user need a system setup menu option, instead of either a) proceeding to install, or b) removing the installer from the system and rebooting?
