Subject: [PATCH] normal/menu: Don't show "Booting `%s'" msg when auto-booting
 with TIMEOUT_STYLE_HIDDEN

When the user has asked the menu code to be hidden/quiet and the current
entry is being autobooted because the timeout has expired don't show
the "Booting `%s'" msg.

This is necessary to let flicker-free boots really be flicker free,
otherwise the "Booting `%s'" msg will kick the EFI fb into text mode
and show the msg, breaking the flicker-free experience.
