mender-grubenv no longer uses the mender_grubenv* directories, instead opting
to put the mender_grubenv directories in a grub-mender-grubenv top-level
directory. While there is a legacy install mode which keeps the two separate
directories, it is better to move forward and rip the bandaid off before it
becomes too painful to update in the future if the legacy option is removed
entirely.
- Update the license file sha256 sum due to a year change.
- mender-grubenv no longer installs grub.cfg, so mender_grub.cfg must be copied
manually to grub.cfg.
- BOOT_DIR replaces ENV_DIR in the Makefile.
- The sleep grub2 module is now a requirement.
- /etc/mender_grubenv.config file must be present on the system for the
grub-mender-grubenv-{print,set} scripts to work properly.
In addition to the above changes, update the mender example board file to work
with the updated mender-grubenv version.

Buildroot currently has all of the needed packages to use Mender as the primary
update system. However, there isn't any documentation or examples now that
provide a starting point for users. This lack of documentation makes setting up
a Mender based update system difficult and time-consuming.
Provided in this patch series is a mender_x86_64_efi_defconfig of which sets up
an x86_64 EFI based build that is ready to flash to a USB pen drive or use in a
QEMU environment. The system partition schema comprises of two equally sized
root partitions and a data partition that mounts to /var/lib/mender as a
persistent data store partition.
There is a board/mender/readme.txt provided, which gives users documentation on
how to flash the built image or boot the image using QEMU as well.
The post-build and post-image-efi scripts also have four options:
-a --artifact-name:
- The name of the artifact, this is added to /etc/mender/artifact_info
-o --data-part-size:
- The data partition size.
-d --device-type
- The device-type used by mender to catagorize registered devices.
