Debian based distros do not enable the serial console by default
in grub.cfg, instead sending all boot messages to the display

The script to find best kernel from image (used by vm
and baremetal element) is duplicated and is not in sync
with each other. Moving the code to img-functions as a
function will reduce duplicated code and make it reusable
in future.
Since img-functions is not accessible in chroot env,
kernel selection is being moved from finalise.d to
cleanup.d in the vm element.

As with the previous similar changes, this is intended to catch
problems as they happen instead of ignoring them and continuing on
to potentially fail later. Setting this on all existing scripts
will allow us to enforce use via Jenkins.

--target has been introduced in grub2. This patch ensure we use
the minimal version before adding the --target XXX flag.
Debian Wheezy and Precise share the same limitation regarding the
root device.

The grub install scripts on Fedora have hardcoded checks for
/sys/firmware/efi and if the directory exists, it uses efi
specific instruction like initrdefi, linuxefi etc. vm element
should fix it once the configuration is generated.

Those parameters allow to access the console for VMs using
extlinux (CentOS 6 for example). They are already added to
Fedora images.

Extlinux bootloader configuration in "vm" element requires vmlinuz and
initrd.img files in /boot/ with "generic" suffix. When these don't exist,
bootloader configuration should fall back to using whatever does exist.

Reference to ${GRUB_OPTS:""} in 'vm' element causes syntax error
if GRUB_OPTS is set. Fix by changing to ${GRUB_OPTS:-""}.

If creating an image of a disto without grub2 extlinux is instead used,
extlinux was being configured to mount the root filesystem as
read/write which in turn causes e2fsck to fail to test the filesystem,
on RHEL 6.5 this causes the boot process to fail.

52-force-text-mode-console, running after 51-bootloader, calls
grub2-mkconfig (on Ubuntu that will happen via the update-grub call).
This call will overwrite all the changes that 51-bootloader did to the
grub.cfg. By merging the 52-force-text-mode-console code into
51-bootloader we avoid that. This also means that 51-bootloader will now
call grub2-mkconfig regardless of whether there is already and existing
grub2 configuration or not (52-force-text-mode-console did that in the
past anyway).
Additionally this commit enables the force to textmode code for openSUSE
(was previously only working correctly for Ubuntu and Fedora).

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.
