 On OpenFirmware platform boot options are currently hardcoded to {{{0}}}
 (i.e., none).

 The following patch provides a non-blocking facility to check for a key
 press and adds support for space bar and escape key options.

 The key must be pressed ''after'' the keyboard and screen are initialized
 but before {{{Welcome to the Haiku bootloader!}}} is printed.

 In particular this enables to bypass the frame buffer (#6105).
