initrd.script: prompt_user(): Remove read timeout
It really makes no sense to timeout while reading user input: We
only prompt when we are unable to continue. It's very unlikely
that we are able to continue after some time without any changes.
Instead, given that it can take some time to enter requested information,
a timeout will likely result in bad user experience when user run
into timeout while typing an UUID for example.
