On some devices the ESC key is the hotkey to enter the BIOS/EFI setup screen, making it really hard to time pressing it right. Besides that ESC is also pretty hard to discover for a user who does not know it will unhide the menu. This commit makes F4, which was chosen because is not used as a hotkey to enter the BIOS setup by any vendor, also interrupt sleeps / stop the menu countdown. This solves the ESC gets into the BIOS setup and also somewhat solves the discoverability issue, but leaves the timing issue unresolved. This commit fixes the timing issue by also adding support for keeping SHIFT pressed during boot to stop the menu countdown. This matches what Ubuntu is doing, which should also help with discoverability.
