Rephrase syslinux screen

The current syslinux screen displays:

Boot Tails

Live
Live (failsafe)

The word “live” here is not relevant: either people know what “live” means and they don’t need it, either they don’t know what “live” means and this screen is not the place to introduce this notion.

My favourite version as of today is:

-- no title --

Tails
Tails (troubleshooting mode)

We’re usually avoiding the term “boot” but we will already have a “Start Tails” button in the Tails Greeter and we’re using “Boot Menu” to refer to the syslinux screen in the documentation.
