kern/main: Suppress the "Welcome to GRUB!" message in EFI builds
GRUB EFI builds are now often used in combination with flicker-free boot, but this breaks with upstream GRUB because the "Welcome to GRUB!" message will kick the EFI fb into text mode and show the msg, breaking the flicker-free experience. EFI systems are so fast, that when the menu or the countdown are enabled the message will be immediately overwritten, so in these cases not printing the message does not matter. And in case when the timeout_style is set to TIMEOUT_STYLE_HIDDEN, the user has asked GRUB to be quiet (for example to allow flickfree boot) and thus the message should not be printed.
