When doing out-of-tree builds, abs_top_srcdir may well contain ".."
segments, and grub-syslinux2cfg canonicalises its --root argument. As a
result, the expansion of @abs_top_srcdir@ may not match what
grub-syslinux2cfg produces.
It's somewhat difficult to portably canonicalize a path in shell, and
autoconf/automake don't offer any support for this. But there's a much
simpler option: copy the test data to a temporary directory and make
substitutions in the expected output file based on that.

Add an extra option to grub-install "--force-extra-removable". On EFI
platforms, this will cause an extra copy of the grub-efi image to be
written to the appropriate removable media patch
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOT$ARCH.EFI as well. This will help with broken
UEFI implementations where the firmware does not work when configured
with new boot paths.

Patch-Name: ppc64el-disable-vsx.patch
Some powerpc machines require not updating the NVRAM. This can be handled
by existing grub-install command-line options, but it's friendlier to detect
this automatically.
On chrp_ibm machines, use the nvram utility rather than nvsetenv. (This
is possibly suitable for other machines too, but that needs to be
verified.)

If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide the
menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus if
available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the menu,
otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then fall
back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
This may or may not remain Ubuntu-specific, although it's not obviously
wanted upstream. It implements a requirement of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/KarmicBootExperienceDesignSpec#Bootloader.
If the previous boot failed (defined as failing to get to the end of one
of the normal runlevels), then show the boot menu regardless.

This is not a very good approach, and certainly not sanely upstreamable;
we probably need to split GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR into a couple of different
variables.

If this option is enabled, then do all of the following:
Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
actually offering a shell prompt. (This is believed to be a workaround
for a different bug. We'll go with this for now, but will drop this in
favour of a better fix upstream if somebody figures out what that is.)
Don't clear the screen just before booting if we never drew the menu in
the first place.
Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration. In some
ways this is awkward because it makes debugging harder, but it's a
requirement for a smooth-looking boot process; we may be able to do
better in future. Upstream doesn't want this, though.
Disable the cursor as well, for similar reasons of tidiness.
Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down. Upstream
doesn't want this, as it makes debugging harder. Ubuntu wants it to
provide a cleaner boot experience.

Since we're already being booted from the Windows boot loader, including
entries that take us back to it mostly just causes confusion, and stops
us from being able to hide the menu if there are no other OSes
installed.
