ubuntu-linuxefi-arm64.patch: Fix build on armhf (LP: #1862279)

277b712... by Julian Andres Klode

Cherry-pick back parts of "Load arm with SB enabled."

These parts got lost in our 2.04 rebase, let's add them back.

Pick (grub_efi_physical_address_t)(grub_efi_uintn_t) cast from
fedora-34 instead, it seems to cause compilation error on armhf
to not do the (grub_efi_uintn_t) cast first.

grub-install: cherry-pick patch from grub-devel to make grub-install fault tolerant. Create backup of files in /boot/grub, and restore them on failure to complete grub-install. LP: #1891680

grub-install: Add backup and restore

Refactor clean_grub_dir to create a backup of all the files, instead
of just irrevocably removing them as the first action. If available,
register on_exit handle to restore the backup if any errors occur, or
remove the backup if everything was successful. If on_exit is not
available, the backup remains on disk for manual recovery.

This allows safer upgrades of MBR & modules, such that
modules/images/fonts/translations are consistent with MBR in case of
errors. For example accidental grub-install /dev/non-existent-disk
currently clobbers and upgrades modules in /boot/grub, despite not
actually updating any MBR. This increases peak disk-usage slightly, by
requiring temporarily twice the disk space to complete grub-install.

Also add modinfo.sh to the cleanup/backup/restore codepath, to ensure
it is also cleaned / backed up / restored.

grub-multi-install: fix non-interactive failures for grub-efi like it was fixed in postinst for grub-pc.

eb660e6... by Dimitri John Ledkov

postinst.in: do not attempt to call grub-install upon fresh install of grub-pc because it it a job of installers to do that after fresh install.
