I made recovery entries to not save default.

The attached patch implements "no savedefault for recovery menuentries" in a configurable way.

The default behaviour is not changed by the patch.

The patch introduces a new config variable GRUB_DONT_SAVEDEFAULT_RECOVERY, which, if set, prevents recovery entries from being saved as default boot entry.
The variable name is somewhat bulky, but if I got it right, the grub config style is more to set some variable to true to produce an effect than to set one to false to prevent an effect. So, I hope it copes with grub-style this way.

The patch further augments the interface of save_default_entry() in a backwards compatible manner to tell it whether the current entry is a recovery entry or not.
All users of save_default_entry() have been changed to the new interface - also in the cases where it would not really have been necessary to do so.

It would be great to have an opportunity to enable savedefault only for "normal" menuentries, but not for the recovery ones.

This should be easy to implement, but I'm not sure where to do it best and whether it should be configurable or not.
Easiest to implement would probably be in 10_linux's and 20_linux_xen's linux_entry(), best for being configurable would probably be in grub-mkconfig_lib's save_default_entry.
