BOOT_SPECS now even simpler

I am going through another iteration of refining bootup in the initrd. The BOOT_SPECS file was simplified in Easy 1.0.11, now it is even simpler.
Here is an example:
BOOT_UUID='308C-E204'
BOOT_DIR=''
WKG_UUID='3dd847b4-41e4-11e9-a94e-c025e90feb00'
WKG_DIR='easy'
Variables BOOT_PARTNUM and WKG_PARTNUM are removed.
They were redundant, as partition-number can be determined from the
UUID, however, I had left them in as a double-check. However, that is
not necessary.
This file can be edited, it contains "yes" or "no", and you can change it to "no" if you don't want the Xorg GUIs at early bootup.
Next up, I am going to revise the automatic "fixing" of BOOT_SPECS when the initrd file is clicked on. This is still troublesome, and I hope to remove that troublesomeness.
