Erico Nunes 0802ede021 grub2: move usage notes to package readme.txt
As discussed in the mailing list, grub2 usage notes were growing too big
for a Config.in documentation, and so it was agreed that a readme.txt in
the package directory is a better place to put them.

This commit simply moves the documentation as-is to preserve the
original contents as they were in Config.in which can be worked on in
further commits.

GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from
GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally
designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn. GRUB 2 has
replaced what was formerly known as GRUB (i.e. version
0.9x), which has, in turn, become GRUB Legacy.
Amongst others, GRUB2 offers EFI support, which GRUB Legacy
doesn't provide.
For additional notes on using Grub 2 with Buildroot, see

Select this option if the platform you're targetting has a
32 bits EFI BIOS. Note that some x86-64 platforms use a 32
bits EFI BIOS, and this option should be used in this case.

Path to a Grub 2 configuration file that will be embedded
into the Grub image itself. This allows to set the root
device and other configuration parameters, but however menu
entries cannot be described in this embedded configuration.
