[SeaBIOS] [PATCH] bootmenu: Skip wait for keypress with less than one item

Here's how I did it - this will skip the 'Press XXX for boot menu.' as well, so that there is no delay in booting, and no confusion on the user's part as to why the boot menu key isn't working :)

requires the file /etc/boot-auto to exist in the CBFS.
