[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] menu: fix timeout duration

For distro-boot, the TIMEOUT directive in the boot script specifies how long to pause in units of 1/10 sec. [1]
Commit 8594753ba0a7 ("menu: only timeout when menu is displayed") corrected this by simply dividing the timeout value by 10 in menu_interactive_choice().
I see two problems:
- For example, "TIMEOUT 5" should wait for 0.5 sec, but the current implementation cannot handle the granularity of 1/10 sec. In fact, it never breaks because "m->timeout / 10" is zero, which means no timeout.
- The menu API is used not only by cmd/pxe.c but also by common/autoboot.c . For the latter case, the unit of the timeout value is _second_ because its default is associated with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY.
To fix the first issue, use DIV_ROUND_UP() so that the timeout value is rounded up to the closest integer.
For the second issue, move the division to the boundary between cmd/pxe.c and common/menu.c . This is a more desirable place because the comment of struct pxe_menu says:
* timeout - time in tenths of a second to wait for a user key-press before * booting the default label.
Then, the comment of menu_create() says:
* timeout - A delay in seconds to wait for user input. If 0, timeout is * disabled, and the default choice will be returned unless prompt is 1.

Changes in v2: - In v1, I was misunderstanding. I thought the unit of TIMEOUT was second, but it is actually 1/10 second. Use round up to fix the "never timeout" problem. Also, move the division to the correct place to fix CONFIG_MENU_SHOW.
