I'm beginning to like the usage of splash-time to represent a timeout for the boot menu less and less.  It is really meant for how long a _splash_ _image_ should appear during boot.

I'd like to suggest adding a new boot option "menu-timeout".  An alternative would be documenting in qemu-options.hx that s390 treats "splash-time" as the menu-timeout.

Thoughts?

Set boot menu options for an s390 guest and store them in
the iplb. These options are set via the QEMU command line
option:

     -boot menu=on|off[,splash-time=X]

or via the libvirt domain xml:

     <os>
       <bootmenu enable='yes|no' timeout='X'/>
     </os>

Where X represents some positive integer representing
milliseconds.

Any value set for loadparm will override all boot menu options.
If loadparm=PROMPT, then the menu will be enabled without a
timeout.

The absence of any boot options on the command line will flag
to later use the zipl boot loader values.
