Brown paper bag bug: readd convert_kopt_to_uuid and use it only on
creation of a new menu.lst, because /this/ is the package the installer
uses to set the UUID on new installs. This should eventually be
refactored to use the mostly-redundant convert_to_uuid function, but we
leave the refactoring until post-release.

Drop the convert_kopt_to_uuid handling: this is no longer needed because
all systems (new installs and upgrades from 8.04) should now have UUID
settings in menu.lst, and the code was never made to respect admin
overrides so update-grub is unusable for anyone who needs to specify
their root by device instead of by UUID. LP: #62195.
