Research direction
Start by examining the existing BIOS section of the system information view and how mintreport presents actions and confirmation dialogs. Use systemctl reboot --firmware-setup as the reference behavior. Done means a user can trigger the firmware reboot from the proposed BIOS section with confirmation, while preserving the existing shutdown flow.

Description
I was looking into a way to reboot my laptop into the bios. Currently I can only find that I can do this through the commandline:
systemctl reboot --firmware-setup
But it might be a good idea to add a button to mint to do this instead.
The normal shutdown dialog might not be the best place to make this available, but perhaps in the BIOS section of the system information a button with a confirmation dialog can be added?
