Ensure that grub-multi-install can always find templates

We'll just install a templates file for grub-common, and then
use db_x_loadtemplatefile to load the templates if invoked from
another package.

flavours as preferred, and specify an order between those preferred
flavours (LP: #1882663)
debian/patches/ubuntu-zfs-enhance-support.patch:
- Use version_find_latest for ordering kernels, so it also supports
the GRUB_FLAVOUR_ORDER setting.

Pass dis_ucode_ldr to kernel for recovery mode

In case of a botched microcode update, this allows people to
easily roll back.

It will of course break in the more unlikely event that you are
missing a microcode update in your firmware that is needed to boot
the system, but editing the entry to remove an option is easier than
having to figure out the option and add it.

UBUNTU: disk/loopback: Don't verify loopback images

When a file is verified, the entire contents of the verified file are
loaded in to memory and retained until the file handle is closed. A
consequence of this is that opening a loopback image can incur a
significant memory cost.

As loopback devices are just another disk implementation, don't treat
loopback images any differently to physical disk images, and skip
verification of them. Files opened from the filesystem within a loopback
image will still be passed to verifier modules where required.
