[Bug 1572874] [NEW] plymouth is disabled after upgrade from trusty due to missing "splash" kernel arg

[Tim]

Public bug reported:

I upgraded a mostly clean install of 14.04.4 -> 16.04 (Ubuntu GNOME).
Plymouth is never displayed on the upgraded system.

This is due to the grub config not having the "splash" kernel
commandline argument currently
