Introducing ostree-grub-generator
ostree-grub-generator can be used to customize
the generated grub.cfg file. Compile time
decision ostree-grub-generator vs grub2-mkconfig
can be overwritten with the OSTREE_GRUB2_EXEC
envvar - useful for auto tests and OS installers.
Why this alternative approach:
1) The current approach is less flexible than using a
custom 'ostree-grub-generator' script. Each system can
adjust this script for its needs, instead of using the
hardcoded values from ostree-bootloader-grub2.c.
2) Too much overhead on embedded to generate grub.cfg
via /etc/grub.d/ configuration files. It is still
possible to do so, even with this patch applied.
No need to install grub2 package on a target device.
3) The grub2-mkconfig code path has other issues:

Closes: #228
