Especially with HiDPI, the word "resolution" is ambiguous.

Also, gfxmode values are not standardized (f.e. u-boot would not know what
to do with them), so using a non-grub-specific key doesn't bring us anything.

I much prefer lists instead of one string.  But grub apparently has "," and
";" as separators--presumably with the same meaning?

It also has the special value "keep" as possible first item.

In view of this complication it's maybe better not to use lists.
