Changing the grub config makes no sense in a build not heading for a vm
and may fail because grub is removed from images not including the vm
element. Forcing textmode for those images would be better done in nova.

When uninstalling grub2, leave all its dependencies
including grub2-tools installed to minimise the number of packages
which need to be installed in the finalise stage.
Since the yum cache is unmounted during finalise, installing
grub2 in finalise is slowed by re-populating the yum cache.
This change copies the grub2 rpm out of the yum cache so it can be installed
from file during finalise.
This should prevent disk becoming full during finalise on Fedora.

If GRUB2 is not available in the system a fallback to install Extlinux
will happen. This patch also allows you to enforce the use of Extlinux
exporting the DIB_EXTLINUX variable.

This patch is part of a another big patch that will implement a fallback
to Extlinux in case GRUB2 is not available in the system. The reason why
it's being splitted in two patches is because git is not being able to
recognize the file changes when the rename happens in the same commit.

If you have an EFI host but the image doesn't have the EFI modules
installed the grub-install command will fail in case the --target
argument is not set. The problem is that the grub-install script will
check whether the /sys/firmware/efi file exists or not to determine if
it's an EFI installation, but this value comes from the host, so this
patch will look for the /sys/firmware/efi file and will also check if
the EFI modules are installed in the image, if not set the --target to
a non-efi platform.

In the 51-grub hook, after the GRUB installation, the script will look
for a GRUB configuration file and in case it's not present one will
be generated using the grub-mkconfig command. The reason why it have
to be done is because the new Fedora 19 cloud images is using extlinux
by default.

The images produced by the diskimage-builder have their filesystem with
a label of "cloudimg-rootfs", so we need to change the default /etc/fstab
on fedora to reflect that.

Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.
