Bug description:
  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).
