[PATCH master] startup: fix infinite loop falling into menu without /env/menu/mainmenu

If MENUFILE (/env/menu/mainmenu) doesn't exist, an infinite loop will
keep executing this non-existent file.
If this happens, let's exit the infinite loop and hang barebox instead.
Previously we dropped to a shell in this situation, but this was changed
as menu-only boots should not be circumventable and drop to a shell due
to errors.
Fixes: 96852a962d0c ("startup: don't fallback to shell from menu")
