Enable users to abort unattended installations before they start by setting
INSTALLER_UNATTENDED_ABORT_ENABLE. Set an optional countdown timeout with
INSTALLER_UNATTENDED_ABORT_TIMEOUT (default 5 seconds).
Automatically append installer.unattended.abort.enable and
installer.unattended.abort.timeout=<timeout-in-seconds> to the kernel
command line only when the feature is enabled.
Abort unattended mode via keypress and switch to normal installation mode,
notifying all consoles via a shared file /tmp/attended_mode_trigger.

Update kas menu system configuration to support bundling multiple target
images instead of selecting a single image.
Replace the exclusive choice with independent bundle options for Base, CI,
and Debug images. Expose each selected bundle as a string var so the chosen
images are available to BitBake and appended to INSTALLER_TARGET_IMAGES.
Show a menu hint when no images are bundled, indicating that no installer
payload is generated and images must be copied manually to the INSTALLDATA
partition.
Update unattended installation menu logic to:
* Allow unattended mode only when at least one image is bundled
* Select which bundled image is installed in unattended mode

Add a Kconfig menu option to allow users to abort unattended installation
before it starts.
Use OPT_INSTALLER_UNATTENDED_ABORT_ENABLE (bool) to enable the feature
and INSTALLER_UNATTENDED_ABORT_TIMEOUT (string) to set the countdown.
Weakly assign INSTALLER_UNATTENDED_ABORT_ENABLE to 0 in unattended.yaml
so the feature is disabled by default and can be enabled via menu system.
