proxmox-boot: ignore call to grub-install from grub maintscripts
in certain cases the postinst script of grub-pc runs grub-install on
the disks it gets from debconf. Simply warn and exit with 0 if
grub-install is called by dpkg and from a grub related package

proxmox-boot: redirect stdout in update-grub snippet
update-grub (via grub-mkconfig) generates the grub configuration by
concatenating the output of each snippet (from /etc/grub.d).
We need to redirect the output of `proxmox-boot-tool refresh`
to not end up with a syntactically wrong config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
(which is not used in any case)
If the system seems to be using proxmox-boot, simply run it, in
addition to warning the user about the situation.
Since the warning is only printed when update-grub is not called
by dpkg or proxmoxmox-boot-tool, this should be safe, and potentially
help keeping systems bootable.

if a (legacy) system is booted with proxmox-boot-tool, running
`grub-install` without being aware of the fact can render the system
unbootable (e.g. when letting the early stage point to an incompatible
zpool instead of the ESP).
To prevent this we add a dpkg-diversion [0], which simply checks if
`proxmox-boot-tool status` indicates that proxmox-boot is used and
errors out in that case, and runs the actual grub-install else.

If the system seems to be booted using proxmox-boot, write a header at
the beginning of the grub.cfg generated when running `update-grub`
Additionally print a warning in case the script is run interactively.
This is determined by checking for DPKG_VERSION, which is set when
running as post-inst task (after a kernel install/removal)
and for PVE_EFIBOOT_UNSHARED, which is set by proxmox-boot-tool when
running `proxmox-boot-tool refresh.`
This patch adds support for booting non-uefi/legacy/bios-boot ZFS
installs, by using proxmox-boot-tool to copy the kernels to the ESP
and then generate a fitting grub config for booting from the vfat ESP:
* grub is installed onto the ESP and the MBR points to the ESP
* after copying/deleting the kernels proxmox-boot-tool bindmounts the
ESP on /boot (inside the new mount namespace)
* grub-update then manages to generate a fitting config.
Some paths/sanity-checks needed adaptation (to differentiate between
EFI boot and not (based on the existence of /sys/firmware/efi)
The arguments for grub-install are taken from the pve-installer.
The approach is inspired by @avw in our community-forum [0].
proxmox-boot-tool: sort and remove duplicates on clean
This is mostly in preparation for renaming pve-efiboot-uuids into
proxmox-boot-uuids, but can help in general (since each duplicate uuid
causes excessive disk i/o upon kernel upgrades).

pve-efiboot-tool: format: fix handling of disk/by-id
The format command will fail when using other paths like

the path /sys/block/<disk>/<part>/partition path.
The part name in /dev/disk/by-id is a symlink to /dev/sdXY. At that
point we already have the symlink resolved to the real path. It is
stored in `bdev`.

fix #2595: less false positives when filtering out meta packages
This fixes selecting kernels for manual inclusion in the ESP which do
not come with a "-pve" in name.
It fixes listing, by just printing out the whole list as is. refresh
complains already if there's a kernel selected but no respective
vmlinuz got found. Additionally, we already plainly add the "manual
kernel list" in kernel_keep_versions, but filter then out any kernel
not containing a "-pve" in boot_kernel_list.
But boot_kernel_list should actually only filter out the kernel meta
packages.
So, use a inverse match and check for a /\d+\.\d+/ pattern, this
seems to work well enough.
Note that kernel_keep_versions doesn't picks up non-pve kernels
anyway, so this only really alters manual selection.

use perl instead of (g)awk to clean /proc/cmdline
this awk line only works with gawk because of implementation differences
between awk alternatives.
debian has mawk installed by default, and mawk does not implement word
boundary regex. to avoid having to depend on gawk, we can just use perl
instead.
efiboot/autorm functions: ignore running kernel if it was removed
In the case were someone removes the current kernel we do not can
"keep" it anymore. While this was obviously no issue for the
autoremoval logic, it is an issue for the pve-efiboot-tool refresh
command, which reuses this helper to see which kernels it needs to
keep on the ESP.
Without this a running kernel was never removed from the EFI System
Partitions if de-installed from a host, so if it sorted as newest one
it was then booted again, which naturally confuses users (it was just
removed!!). So to ensure that we cannot get such zombie kernels
ensure that only installed kernels are included in the list.

followup: code cleanup
* add some spaces for separation, increasing readability
* do not use the non-existent variable x as replacement, but an actual
empty string ""
* don't use the "truth-y action" at end to make awk print the line ($0)
but explicitly print $0 after the gsub, makes it easier to get for
people with not much awk background

Add efiboot refresh hook to update-initramfs
As explained in [0], we can add a hook script that will be called after
update-initramfs did its job (and thus, a new initrd has been created).
We can use this to automatically sync the ESPs using 'pve-efiboot-tool
refresh', if update-initramfs was called manually (on kernel upgrade we
already have a hook that does this).
