Code is currently ignoring errors from efibootmgr, giving users
clearly bogus output like:
Setting up grub-efi-amd64 (2.02~beta3-4) ...
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Could not delete variable: No space left on device
Could not prepare Boot variable: No space left on device
Installation finished. No error reported.
and then potentially unbootable systems. If efibootmgr fails,
grub-install should know that and report it!

Patch-Name: grub-install-efibootmgr-check.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.)

the function of these files exceeds what can be sanely handled in shell
in posix-comaptible way. Also writing it in C extends the functionality
to non-UNIX-like OS and minimal environments.
