Currently we run grub-mkconfig then go and edit the generated output
in /boot/grub/grub.cfg to override the "root=" arguments to our label.
If another element like project-config's
finalise.d/99-fix-grub-timeout then goes and re-runs grub2-install, it
overwrites these changes.
Grub has GRUB_DEVICE which should override the root device. Let's try
using this. Maybe it wasn't around at the time, this code is
more-or-less unchanged from I7d83bb2b359e7a8c3858eca04c96e35cf4e1fe9e

Set the grub timeout to 5 seconds by default, and add notes on how to
update this. This will stop infra having to carry an element that
goes and rewrites the grub configuration.

For some reason [1] introduced -m option without ever checking that the
mapping exists. Because there is no grub-ieee1275 mapping anywhere (not
in base, not in bootloader), pkg-map fails. So stop using the mapping in
package-install of grub-ieee1275 on ppc.
There is another patch that tries to solve the same bug by adding the
mapping [2]. I think it is better to undo the breakage introduced in [1]
first, and then, if various distributions have differing names for the
package, introduce various mappings. My reasoning is that at the moment
this element is broken for all ppc64 distributions. This patch would
fix it for some (namely, Ubuntu). Then we can add mappings as tests
are done for other distributions.

Gentoo has updated it's grub ebuild to default to the upstream
recommended installation parameter of grub-mkconfig instead of our
default multislot installation of grub2-mkconfig. Update the command
line parameter so that it works with both.

Our bootloader install fails on non-gentoo builds due to missing pkg-map
for grub-pc. This map should really live in the bootloader element, so
move it there and fill it out.

In order to add more flexibility to the vm and bootloader
elements, split the functionality in two different ones, and
make vm depend on bootloader element.
This will allow to construct more elements that depend on
bootloader, and develop both elements independently.
