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

[Michael Vogt]

** Description changed:

+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. create ubuntu snappy image from 15.04/edge
+ 2. enable UEFI boot in the bios
+ 3. verify that it fails to boot and drops into a grub shell
+ 
+ 4. create ubuntu snappy image from 15.04/edge that got build with vivid-proposed
+ 5. boot and verify that uefi boot works this time.
+ 
  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).
