grub: replace legacy grub install scripts
Translate old legacy grub scripts into grub.py Implement ogGrubInstallMbr as install_main_grub() and ogGrubInstallPartition as install_linux_grub(). Add grub configuration file generator through the classes GrubConfig and MenuEntry. Ensure EFI tree structure compatibility with legacy code. The structure of the created folders in the ESP is non-standard, efi binaries are usually located in the folder below the EFI/ directory. Structure used by ogClient: EFI/ ├── grub/ │ └── Boot/ │ ├── BOOTX64.CSV │ ├── grub.cfg │ ├── mmx64.efi │ ├── shimx64.efi │ ├── BOOTX64.EFI │ ├── grubx64.efi │ └── ogloader.efi ... The function _mangle_efi_folder handles the folder structure after grub-install to comply with the location expected by ogLive. install_linux_grub() installs a grub local to each Linux install to enable chainloading, each grub is located in EFI/Part-xx-yy/ in UEFI. The local linux BIOS grub in legacy scripts is unreliable, grub-install reports a failure during the install process. install_main_grub() installs a global grub in EFI/grub/ to show a grub menu when the pxe boot fails. The global grub contains entries to every installed os. No global grub is installed for BIOS systems, a Boot partition would be required to store the grub configuration.
