change menu option 'help' to 'help-msg'

[a1ive]

感觉还是有点bug啊。

menuentry "menu 1" --help-msg="qwertyasdfghjkl" {
  echo menu;
}

menuentry "menu 2" --help-msg="test menu 2" {
  echo menu;
}

menuentry "menu 3" {
  echo menu;
}

menuentry "menu 4" --help-msg="fuck fuck fuckfuck fuck" {
  echo menu;
}

Remove HELP: ?? so will work for all languages? User can easily add 'HELP:' to each menuentry if they want it to display 'HELP:'. If use for grubfm slack theme

Can we have more than one line of help text?

I'm talking about bugs: --help-msg="qwertyasdfghjkl" it shows qwertyasdfg

Could this be a typo? grub-core/commands/menuentry.c

I tried different test cases for .cfg file. The results are very unpredictable! it depends on contents/size of the .cfg file which contains the menuentry commands!

# FIRST MENU ENTRY HERE - this must always be the default menu entry (always use 'set default=0')

#a1ive grub file manager must be first menu entry (either keep as entry 0 or remove this entry)
if [ -d "(${bootdev},msdos1)/_ISO/MAINMENU" ] ; then 
    menuentry "a1ive grub2 File Manager (/_ISO/MAINMENUX)" --help-msg="qwertyasdfghjkl"  --class=dir {
        delvars
        grubfm "(${bootdev},msdos1)/_ISO/MAINMENU/"
    }
else
    menuentry "a1ive grub2 File Manager" --class=dir {
        delvars
        grubfm
    }
fi

if [ -f "${grubfm0}" ] ; then 
    menuentry "${grubfm0_title}" --class=exe --help-msg="qwertyasdfghjkl" {
        set grubfm_file="${grubfm0}"
        if [ "${grubfm0_type}" = "wininst" ] ; then delvars; configfile (${user})/boot/grubfm/rules/iso/win.sh ; fi
        if [ "${grubfm0_type}" = "e2biso" ]  ; then delvars; configfile (${user})/boot/grubfm/rules/iso/e2b.sh ; fi
        delvars; grubfm_open "${grubfm_file}"
    }
fi

if [ -f "${grubfm1}" ] ; then 
    menuentry "${grubfm1_title}" --help-msg="qwertyasdfghjkl" --class=exe {
        set grubfm_file="${grubfm1}"
        if [ "${grubfm1_type}" = "wininst" ] ; then delvars; configfile (${user})/boot/grubfm/rules/iso/win.sh ; fi
        if [ "${grubfm1_type}" = "e2biso" ]  ; then delvars; configfile (${user})/boot/grubfm/rules/iso/e2b.sh ; fi
        delvars; grubfm_open "${grubfm_file}"
    }
fi

Seems to be similar to the theme bug we have found before???

Using up-down keys - sometimes help message is not updated or is blank!
