bootimg_pcbios: add funcs to configure booting with grub
Functions added, but not executed during
wic image creation include:
_get_staging_libdir
* Finds target lib directory if for some
reason STAGING_LIBDIR isn't set.
_do_configure_grub
* Will search for a grub configuration passed via
bootloader --configfile. If not found build a
default one which searches for partition that
contains the given the kernel name via grub
search module.
_do_prepare_grub
1. Sets default values for GRUB_MKIMAGE_FORMAT_PC
and GRUB_PREFIX_PATH if none specified. Both
variables are required by grub-mkimage.
* GRUB_MKIMAGE_FORMAT_PC is used to define
target platform.
* GRUB_PREFIX_PATH is used to define which
directory grub config and modules are going
to reside in.
2. Generates grub config to embed into core.img.
This config is used to search for partition
containing grub config.
3. Creates a custom core.img or grub stage 1.5
with an embedded grub config.
4. Copies all the target built grub modules into
GRUB_PREFIX_PATH directory.
5. Creates boot partition
_do_install_grub
1. dd target platform specific boot.img to the first
0-440 bytes of the resulting wic image. dd grub
stage 1 to wic image. If this wics plugin is used
with GPT as partition table format and grub selected
as bootloader it's more than likely for grub hybrid
booting because bootimg_efi plugin should and more
than likely will be used in that case. So, boot.img
may be dd regardless if partition table format is
GPT or MBR.
2. dd custom core.img (grub stage 1.5) with embedded
configuration to the resulting wic image starting
at byte 512 up to sizeof(core.img).
3. Both boot.img and core.img are required for legacy
bios boot. See grub Wiki for more details on
boot.img and core.img.

Commit also imports python modules required by the
above implemented functions.
