amd64: revert all grub changes for xenial

For LP: #1901906, on other releases we ensured that grub-pc is always
installed with shim-signed. However, xenial has different behavior that
does not work the same. This reverts those changes back to what
livecd-rootfs was before any of those changes were made, keeping only
the autoremove packages work.

amd64: always install grub-efi-amd64-signed

shim-signed does not depend on grub-efi-amd64-signed in Xenial.
Historically, Xenial did not always ship with signatures. This is
different than LTSes after Xenial where this is the case. A future SRU
for grub should change this, but for now ensure to install the signed
package so that secure boot systems can actually boot.

Merge xenial-open-vm-tools-update into ubuntu/xenial [a=jchittum] [r=]

Backport vmtools version in vmdk (LP: #1893898)

Backport
LP: #1893898 describes missing vmtools version from the vmdk headers.
The version should be added as ddb.toolsVersion = "2147483647" however
the sed was no longer replacing a ddb.comment field with the tools
version. Rather than subbing ddb.comment with toolsVersion, this commit
deletes ddb.comment (which the comment mentions could cause errors),
and adds the correct value. There was no visibility into the descriptor
during hook creation, so debug statements were added. This allows us to
quickly verify in the logs that bad statements are removed (the possibly
offending comments), as well as ensuring that the toolsVersion is added

Merge vagrant_40_gb_xenial into ubuntu/xenial [a=patviafore] [r=rcj]

Make Ubuntu Vagrant box 40G. (LP: #1580596)

Vagrant images were previously put at 10G, but this was a regression
from Trusty, in which they were 40G. This made it a tough sell for
users to upgrade if they were using a Ubuntu desktop experience.

This change does not impact disk usage as Vagrant with the virtualbox
provider dynamically allocates space with the VMDK. On a test system,
the VMDK took up 1.1G of disk space according to df, and after
creating a 2G file in Vagrant, the VMDK grew to 3.1G.

Therefore, users who are running on a system with little free space will
not see adverse effects if they upgrade to a new vagrant image
