After interrupting the autoboot timeout, prevent it from restarting.

In the lua loader, if one sets a password in loader.conf, the autoboot_delay
timer will start before the menu is displayed.  One can interrupt the autoboot
and bring up the menu by entering a keyboard character before the timer
expires.

If this is done a prompt for the password is displayed.  Entering the password
will bring up the menu, but the timer will again start and another keyboard
character must be entered or autoboot will abort the menu and boot the system.

This is unexpected and not useful.

A patch to correct the problem is attached.
