[Bug 1367109] [NEW] Consider adding apple_set_os patch to grub

[Herb McNew]

Public bug reported:

Due to some idiosycracies associated with Apple hardware, the Intel
integrated graphics device is not intialized or detected on boot. There
is a work around patch for this that was posted[1] at the end of 2013.
I've confirmed that the patch applies cleanly to the grub package in
utopic as of 2014-09-09.
