When user wants to change entry in grub2 menu in pygrub, there's no
response in case of appending command line arguments ('a' key) and
may be crash of pygrub in case of editing item ('e' key).

Append malfunction is caused by change of keyword used for kernel
record. Grub uses 'kernel' for line with linux kernel but grub2 uses
'linux' instead. This patch adds checking for both grub 1 and 2 keywords.

Crash on editing is caused longer entry list in case of grub2. As entry
window is 10 lines high, it can hold only 8 entries (2 lines for border).
Adding line outside of windows high causes crash. Patch add handling
for longer lists and scrolling through them.
