Bug Description

After installing grub-ipxe_1.0.0+git-20190109.133f4c4-0ubuntu2_all.deb, the file /etc/grub.d/20_ipxe is added. I suggest adding '--id ipxe' to the menu entry, so it would be easy to reference that menu entry in /etc/default/grub (i.e., 'GRUB_DEFAULT=ipxe').

diff 20_ipxe 20_ipxe_new
20c20
< menuentry "Network boot (iPXE)" --users "" --class network {
---
> menuentry "Network boot (iPXE)" --users "" --class network --id ipxe {

Rafael, I think this suggestion makes sense, what do you think?
