docs: Do not reference non-existent --dumb option

Browse Source

its terminal command. The proper way to do this in GRUB2 is to set the
terminal to "dumb" via the terminfo command.

However, note that GRUB assumes that your terminal emulator is
compatible with VT100 by default. This is true for most terminal
emulators nowadays, but you should pass the option @option{--dumb} to
the command if your terminal emulator is not VT100-compatible or
implements few VT100 escape sequences. If you specify this option then
GRUB provides you with an alternative menu interface, because the normal
menu requires several fancy features of your terminal.
