The GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT option allows users to set a default timeout value to occur should a system running GRUB2 not receive any input at all at a prompt. If the timeout value is reached, the system continues to boot using whatever the first or otherwise selected option is. This is a particularly useful setting on headless systems where stalling boots can cause pain. GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT takes an integer as it's value, which is the time in seconds to wait before timing out and continuing the boot sequence. This commit: - allows for recordfail_timeout to be set - validates that the value of recordfail_timeout is a string - adds the config option and value to the GRUB2 config, if set

GRUB2 includes a RECORDFAIL feature which means that the boot after a failed boot
will always stop at the boot menu. We can set a timeout value to stop headless systems
failing at this point. There is a difference between the TIMEOUT and RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT
features, as the former will occur on all boots; the latter occurs only on the boot after a failed boot.
The GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT option allows users to set a default timeout
value to occur should a system running GRUB2 not receive any input at all at
a prompt. If the timeout value is reached, the system continues to boot
using whatever the first or otherwise selected option is. This is a
particularly useful setting on headless systems where stalling boots can cause
pain.
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT takes an integer as it's value, which is the time in
seconds to wait before timing out and continuing the boot sequence.
