Public bug reported:
Hitting tab on `grub-reboot` gives:
```
$ grub-reboot [tab]
--id
Advanced options for Ubuntu
Ubuntu
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-108-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-108-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-109-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-109-generic (recovery mode)
```
But
```
$ grub-reboot --id
Unrecognized option `--id'
[...]
```
And the menu items starting with "Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-" are
actually in the submenu "Advanced options for Ubuntu". So, saying `grub-
reboot "Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-108-generic", does not have the
desired effect. One needs to say instead `grub-reboot "Advanced options
for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-108-generic"`.
Additionally, `grub-reboot` accepts those and other meaningless
parameters without complaint:
```
$ sudo grub-reboot nonsense && echo success
success
```
