Subject: [PATCH] lualoader: Added a menu option for unmuting logs.

Added a dedicated menu option for toggling the `boot_menu` kenv variable
so that the user can easily toggle `boot_menu` off to see the kernel
messages.
Useful for debugging, etc.

Also moved the `core.recordDefaults()` out of the end of core.lua and put
it on top of menu.lua . When the function ran at the end of core.lua, it
did not capture the variables defined in loader configuration files.
This is a small bug in base.
