[Bug 1179940] [NEW] cloud-images build process should not modify /etc/grub/default

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Thanks to bug 901600 and SRU to 12.04, we now no longer have to modify /etc/default/grub in the cloud-image build process.
That modification has caused a fair amount of fallout (usually wrt upgrading grub).

It would be nice to not do that any more.
Basically, lines 219 to ~ 260 [1] can be modified for precise or greater to not modify that file but add a /etc/default/grub.d/50-cloud-images.conf.
