Boot-To-Emulator config options

[despens]

I know it is wrong to report this at this repo 😄, but…

At the moment, the boot-to-emulator config options are distributed among different configuration files. For example, forced display resolution is defined via grub, the desired boot environment is defined via enviroment-id.txt in the root of the emil-data partition, there is another ini-style formatted settings file for chosing developer or temper-proof mode, the inactivity timeout is part of an XML file yet somewhere else.

It would be nice to have a single configuration file in the emil-data root, XML or YAML, that would contain all the possible configuration options.

Seems like a not-so-straightforward thing to do. We can unify all our configuration stuff, but the grub configuration is far outside the reach of bwFLA/EaaS/emil.
One possibility is to abuse the kernel command line for some things. This way we can use the grub config to make all the changes. But I would rather not put too much information into kcmd as it is intended for short key=value pairs, not complex XML settings.

CC'ed Oleg as he designed all this live-system stuff.
