e6cab77eca sd-boot: Add keys to reboot into firmware interface
This is useful if the auto-firmware setting has been disabled. The
keys used here are based on what the majority of firmware employ in
the wild.
This also ensures there's a chance for the user to discover this in
case they were too slow during POST or simply used the wrong ones.

b8cdb66279 man: the sd-boot menu is probably more "textual" then "graphical", hence don't lie
(also, most communication happens between boot loader and OS, only
seldom stuff goes the other way, hence mention that the boot loader
first)

8a8e5666ce sd-boot: Improve key bindings
Making keys case insensitive should help if caps lock is on.
We are not advertising them at runtime or in the manual to
reduce the noise.

This also hides the quit and version commands from the help
string. They are mostly for devs and otherwise have little
to no use to normal users. The latter overlaps with print
status which is still advertised.

250db1bf02 docs: improve wording when mentioning the acronym "ESP"
"ESP" is "EFI system partition", so "ESP partition" is redundant.

904ebcb200 sd-boot: Add → as alternative to boot selected entry
This is sometimes slightly more convenient to use
and is also what GRUB supports.

3a54a15760 man: use same header for all files
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.

$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n  "http^gms' man/*.xml

bc61c2b1c7 man: add a new section for EFI variables
We should probably refer to them from other man pages
for programs which use them, since right now all refs are
in systemd-boot(7). But creating the section is a good step
anyway.

From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

  time-out
      n 1: a brief suspension of play; "each team has two time-outs left"

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (18 March 2015) [foldoc]:

  timeout

     A period of time after which an error condition is raised if
     some event has not occured.  A common example is sending a
     message.  If the receiver does not acknowledge the message
     within some preset timeout period, a transmission error is
     assumed to have occured.
