ui/ncurses: Expose boot_device configuration through UI
Add a configuration setting for the default boot device.
We change the autoboot option to a select, as we have three possible
behaviours for autoboot:
( ) Don't autoboot
( ) Autoboot from any disk/network device
( ) Only autoboot from a specific disk/network device
The latter option will show a list of possible devices to seelct for
autoboot behaviour.
