0d0f7f8075 Rename existing BLS entry with the new machine-id
This change replaces the call to grub2-switch-to-blscfg with a file
rename to update it to the actual machine-id.

grub2-switch-to-blscfg has issues in some build environments:
- When the build host is EFI boot, it assumes the image is, and
  fails when config file /etc/grub2-efi.cfg is missing
- With recent cento9 images and a fedora build host it fails with:
  grub2-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)

53d04d27c6 centos: work around 9-stream BLS issues
Per the bug mentioned upstream, grub2-mkconfig will currently not set
the kernel options for BLS entries prefixed with a machine-id
different to the running system.

This affects the centos element, as the upstream .qcow2 comes with a
pre-existing BLS entry but a blank machine-id.  This only affects
9-stream -- prior releases either don't use BLS or have entries
configured to use a common variable from grubenv which is updated
correctly.

We currently can not end-to-end test this in OpenDev because we run
our functional tests on Ubuntu Focal (they use devstack), whose kernel
can not read the XFS format on the 9-stream .qcow2.  This expands the
functional tests (that run on Debian Buster, with a later kernel) to
add the vm element, so the bootloader path is exercised (this requires
a block-device too).  This at least runs the bootloader install, we
can confirm the kernel options look right from the dumping provided
the logs.
