Make the GRUB_TIMEOUT value settable

Describe the solution you'd like

Currently, the GRUB_TIMEOUT value is set to ONE second. As AMIgen gains use on more platforms – and as CSPs begin to provide access to virtual consoles – the default (1s) value will be too short for users seeking to be able to access the GRUB menu for diagnostic and other reasons.

This is fixable by changing line-37 of the GrubSetup.sh script to make use of a parameter-set value.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Continue with static value but set to a much higher value: however, this will too-broadly slow boot processes and change expected behaviors
