Thus ensuring we get the correct device numbers after writing a
partition table (mga#22032).

This enables bootloader::read_grub2 to recognise the initrd16 keyword,
which is used by default on x86 machines.

Fix drakboot video mode selection when using grub2 (mga#21246)

The video mode needs to be extracted from and written back to the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter in /etc/defaults/grub2.

This fix creates a new "default_vga" key in the $bootloader hash to
hold the current selection. Using the existing "vga" key would cause
the default video mode to be added to any bootloader entries that
don't have a specific "vga" value, e.g. the "failsafe" entry.

The $bootloader "vga" value doesn't appear to be set anywhere else,
so may in fact be obsolete.

This allows changes to the append options to propagate to the grub2
configuration file, thus fixing mga#21263 and mga#21250.

we were wrongly assuming we entered a new entry when reading eg:
"${xen_rm_opts}"
(which is why most people never see that error and why I wasn't able to
reproduce it, one would need Xen or similar to be installed)
Then drakboot would crash with:
drakboot crashed ("undefined value for mandatory argument 'text' encountered at ugtk3.pm"

Theorically, it could happen with DrakX too when updating a system with Xen.
