[Bug 1011418] [NEW] Move zz-update-grub to -common pacakge

Public bug reported:

The script zz-update-grub is installed with the arch specific binary
packages (e.g. grub-pc, grub-ieee1275).

It in fact is not specific to any of these packages and should instead
be installed by the -common package.

One benefit of this is that there are systems with build-in grub as a
boot loader in firmware, which simply look for /boot/grub/grub.cfg on
the hd. In this way, these systems need only install grub2-common to
work.
