[Bug 1468111] [NEW] gcdx64.efi should handle grub.cfg in /efi/boot.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

Public bug reported:

Snappy images have grub.cfg in $cmdpath/efi/boot, which then loads a
better /efi/ubuntu/grub/grub.cfg which will look for the real file on
the filesystem.

Snappy personal image built as such currently fails to boot:
sudo ubuntu-device-flash personal rolling --channel=edge --output image.img

GRUB fails to find /boot/ which is the typical prefix, and fails to find
/.disk/info which then really breaks $prefix.

Workaround is to handle grub.cfg being in $cmdpath directly (in other
words, in /efi/boot).

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
