Revert "menu: fix embedded menu snafu"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 155b25bcc2, 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).

Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
disabled, and can be overriden runtime by setting
