Draft: main/grub: make bli module opt-in

Kevin Daudt requested to merge kdaudt/aports:grub-make-bli-opt-in into master

The grub 2.12 upgrade rendered uefi systems unbootable because it starts referring to a new 'bli' module that does not exist yet in the bootloader for existing systems.

Updating the bootloader automatically is problematic due to the diversity of setups, which can cause any automation to break those existing systems.

Instead, work around this issue by not using the 'bli' module by default, but only when explicitly enabled by the user.

  • Verified that grub 1.12 bootloader works with this config
  • Verified that grub 1.06 bootloader works with this config
