In order to support ISO9660 bootable images that rely on Grub 2, this
commit modifies thr Grub 2 makefile to generate and install an El
Torito image. Such an image is simply produced by concatenating the
cdboot.img provided by Grub 2, and the Grub 2 image generated by
Buildroot using grub-mkimage.
Since this action is so simple and cost-free, we don't bother adding a
Grub 2 sub-option for that, and simply generate the El Torito image
unconditionally.

When x86-64-efi platform is selected, grub2 automatically adds -m64 to the
CFLAGS. This makes the configure script failed when the toolchain does not
have multilib support (like the Buildroot ones).

This is the location where buildroot install the image if requested,
so this should be the default search path for the bootloader.

To be consistent with the recent change of FOO_MAKE_OPT into FOO_MAKE_OPTS,
make the same change for FOO_CONF_OPT.

Since the trailing slash is stripped from $($(PKG)_SITE) by pkg-generic.mk:
$(call DOWNLOAD,$($(PKG)_SITE:/=)/$($(PKG)_SOURCE))
so it is redundant.
This patch removes it from $(PKG)_SITE variable for BR consistency.

The help text of grub2 explains the detailed steps to create a disk
image with grub2 installed on it. However, the steps for the
BIOS-based systems have a few minor issues fixed by this patch:
- When calling partx to get the partitions detected, we should do it
on the /dev/loop0 block device, and not on the underlying disk.img
image file.
- The grub-bios-setup utility must be called as root to work properly
on /dev/loop0.
- The steps to cleanup the partx and loop device were missing.

Since boot partition was not specified, grub tools try to detect it
automatically. This patch add an option to force it.

Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.
At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.
I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.
Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,
anybody interested in Grub2 is invited to contribute a working
package.

The build process of grub2 breaks the compilation. It breaks with:
./configure: line 4766: syntax error near unexpected token `external'
./configure: line 4766: `AM_GNU_GETTEXT(external)'
In addition to this, it later requires Ruby. Do we really want to make
Buildroot depend on Ruby being installed on the host ? Do we really
want to build our own Ruby ? Do we even care about Grub2 ?

Much of the grub2.mk seems to have been copy/pasted from
grub.mk. However, all the network/splashimage related ./configure
options do not exist in grub2.

grub2 now builds fine, but some work remains to make it usable. What
should be installed exactly in the TARGET_DIR ? What is the
installation procedure and what should Buildroot do ?
