[bug #30506] savedefault only for non-recovery menuentries

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #30506 (project grub):

The attached patch implements "no savedefault for recovery menuentries" in a
configurable way.

The default behaviour is not changed by the patch.

The patch introduces a new config variable GRUB_DONT_SAVEDEFAULT_RECOVERY,
which, if set, prevents recovery entries from being saved as default boot
entry.
The variable name is somewhat bulky, but if I got it right, the grub config
style is more to set some variable to true to produce an effect than to set
one to false to prevent an effect. So, I hope it copes with grub-style this
way.

The patch further augments the interface of save_default_entry() in a
backwards compatible manner to tell it whether the current entry is a recovery
entry or not.
All users of save_default_entry() have been changed to the new interface -
also in the cases where it would not really have been necessary to do so.
