Integrate timeshift to linux mint recovery menu #238

Fixed some problem I had with linux mint using timeshift. However had to lookup commands to use it.

This is quite a common problem for newbie linux users. And often they would see this screen.

Could you add an interactive timeshift interface to this menu?

This is mostly for better user experience for less expert users who just want to jump back in time without figuring out the console.

(Also would be good to be able to copy/restore from an external drive)

Oh and on a side note, thanks for making this program. It saved me from reinstalling the system.
