In my opinion we can do exactly what it is proposed in
https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/issues/467:

"We can add a small check box on the Template tab to allow the boot
menu to appear for a guest."

The timeout can be hardcoded to 3-5 seconds. I don't see much
value into making this timeout configurable.

One thing to check is whether this option works for all archs and if
there is no drawback or limitations of the current features we support
(clone, migration, etc) when adding it.
