Ian Wienand 8f12d9530e bootloader: remove dangling grubenv links
The rhel8.2 .qcow2 images have moved from a single xfs partition into
an EFI style layout with separate /boot/efi partition.

This means the root partition has /boot/grub2/grubenv as a symlink to
../efi/EFI/redhat/grubenv, which is dangling when we are running the
bootloader element as /boot/efi is blank.  grub-install tries to call
rename() in the process of re-writing this file, which fails and bails
out dib.

Remove this symlink if it exists

==========
bootloader
==========

Installs ``grub[2]`` on boot partition on the system. In case GRUB2 is
not available in the system, a fallback to Extlinux will happen. It's
also possible to enforce the use of Extlinux by exporting a
``DIB_EXTLINUX`` variable to the environment.

Arguments
=========

* ``DIB_GRUB_TIMEOUT`` sets the ``grub`` menu timeout.  It defaults to
  5 seconds.  Set this to 0 (no timeout) for fast boot times.

* ``DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE`` sets parameters that are appended
  to the ``GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`` values in ``grub.cfg``
  configuration. It defaults to ``nofb nomodeset gfxpayload=text``.

* ``DIB_BOOTLOADER_SERIAL_CONSOLE`` sets the serial device to be
  used as a console. It defaults to ``hvc0`` for PowerPC, 
  ``ttyAMA0,115200`` for ARM64, otherwise ``ttyS0,115200``.
