Revert "menu: fix embedded menu snafu"
This reverts commit 155b25bcc28631a5b5230191aa3f56c40dfffa3f, which was
totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even
on non-embedded platforms.
It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when
we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually
'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained
environment).
