Grub [ uses "-a", not "&&".

per layout from MR #199 discussion.
under "Advanced install options" we have:
- Graphical installer
- Text installer
- Graphical installer with dark theme
- Text installer with dark theme
- Installer with speech synthesis
under each of these we have a set of:
- Install
- Expert install
- Automated install
- Rescue mode
note that the 'automated' entries are moved up before the 'rescue' entries.
for hotkeys, the four entries above have hotkeys of 'i', 'x', 'a', and 'r'
respectively. ('x' is used instead of 'e' to avoid clash with standard
grub hotkey). this means that some entries that previous had no hotkeys
due to the flat list now have them. the other big difference is the main
graphical install entry going from 'g' to 'i' for consistency and the main
speech synth entry going from 's' to 'i' for the same reason.
furthermore, in the level above we have 'g' for normal graphical, 't' for
normal text install, 's' for speech synth, 'd' for graphical dark mode,
and 'k' for text dark mode.
the text-only sets are identical to the graphical ones except only for
dropping the graphical groups, simplifying maintenance, bringing clarity
to users of images (who may not have even made the image) that the set is
text-only, and keeping consistent hotkeys between graphical and text-only.
a 'start installer with speech synthesis' entry shortcut has been placed
at the top menu level alongside the 'start installer' shortcut.

following the presence of them in the official install discs.
also drops unnecessary word "graphical" from existing speech
synth entry, following official Debian install discs.

more fitting now that we've moved the advanced installer entries
out to a different submenu, leaving just memtest (and HDT on
syslinux).
the advanced.cfg file is also renamed to utilities.cfg in the syslinux
case, but in a backwards compatible way of moving the user advanced.cfg
file over the new one, if the user provides a file with the old name.
alternatively we could just leave the old name in place, but that would be
a little odd.

- most entries used vga=788 rather than vga=normal (which are equivalent)
- the syslinux menu uses 788 exclusively
- so do the official install discs

also enables greater flexibility for users to override more aspects of
theme separate from menu entries, and similarly the initial config details
separate from the menu entries. (with the recent change to merge user files
with the defaults rather than replace them, users can pick which of these
individual components they wish to customise.
identical to change as sent in to Kali and accepted by Raphaël.

partly lost in some adjustments that were made to the submitted work,
which was focused on restoring the 'start installer' entry.
there is no need for dynamic setting of these two `source` imports in the
default file, in fact user modifications should also use the fixed import
commands in future.
note that the old placeholders however remain replaced, which inject
precisely this string, for backwards compatibility.

* Use same menu labels
* Use same hotkeys
* Get rid of a nested menu that is not present in grub
* Add "menu title" statement to hide the caret of the hotkey (^)

don't include the advanced menu at all if it's only entry - memtest - is
not included (you just get a menu entry that does nothing, which may
confused users into thinking that something is broken, as opposed to
showing an empty submenu as i expected).

backwards compatibility:
1. the new file will be included alongside any user custom config
2. rather than replace MEMTEST with an actual config entry, we replace it
with a line to import the content of the new file, and thus will work
just as before.
thus no backwards compatible breakage

backwards compatibility:
1. the new install.cfg and install_start.cfg files (chosen
automatically from the install_*gui.cfg and install_*test.cfg
files) will be included alongside any user custom config.
2. the placeholders are now replaced with lines importing these files
thus everything will work just as before, i.e. no backwards
compatibility breakage.

this takes a step forward in moving towards the same updated layout as
with syslinux; here we get:
- <live entries>
- Start installer
- Advanced install options...
- <full set of install options>
- Advanced options...
- Memory Diagnostic Tool (memtest86[+])
note that this only affects the default menu. custom configs are not
affected by this change.
further steps to complete the move to the updated layout will follow
later.
"Advanced options..." should perhaps be renamed later.

...for consistency with syslinux config placeholders and improved
clarity of what text is a placeholder.
the old placeholders without the bookends are still replaced for
user configs for backwards compatibility.
the new ones are little used just at the moment but are expected to
become used much more in later commits.

Current splash makes it very difficult to read menu entries.
Black as a background color is actually interpreted as transparent,
so switching to something else so the highlighted menu entry can be
read more easily.

* Use only long kernel names.
* Put advanced options in a submenu.
* Use distro-agnostic labels.
* Don't generate entries with kernel version when we have a single
version.
