[Merge] ~beidl/grub:focal-devel-bootcounter into ~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu:focal-devel

[Alfred E. Neumayer]

The proposal to merge ~beidl/grub:focal-devel-bootcounter into ~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu:focal-devel has been updated.

Description changed to:

Implements "increment" and "decrement" commands as an additional module for counting boot attempts.
Can be used in automatic failover mechanisms where booted userspace can reset the counter
while the bootloader can switch to a different target system in case of exceeding the attempts.

Based on a patch by Peter Jones at Red Hat.
Original patch:
https://git.centos.org/rpms/grub2/blob/98a0ca1734941a1b031d6af57480496779e0d0ca/f/SOURCES/0278-Reimplement-boot_counter.patch

I intend to upstream the patch ASAP, though the legal situation regarding
the CLA needs to be cleared in a dialog first.
