[pve-devel] [PATCH kernel-helper/manager v3] check for fitting grub-meta package on uefi systems

[Stoiko Ivanov <s.ivanov@proxmox.com>]

v2->v3:
* adapted Friedrich's feedback (huge thanks for the patience and attention
  to semantically important details!!) - so that the pve7to8 warning is
  actually understandable

v1->v2:
* adapted Friedrich's feedback (huge thanks!)
** fixed the wrongly negated check for installed grub-efi-amd64 in the
   boot-tool hook.
** Rephrased the error-message in pve7to8 to 2 sentences. I tried adding a
   newline as well, however this results in the message not being printed
   in the warning color anymore (most likely due to [0]) - and I felt this
   to be more important than having it on a separate line.

original cover-letter for v1:
The following patchset is a followup to the one for the installer:
https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2023-September/059270.html

As suggested by Thomas - adding the check to proxmox-kernel-helper seems
like a good idea. While adding it to d/postinst I thought that this might
not be the best place - and that getting the warning upon every
kernel-upgrade would be better vs. upon every upgrade of
proxmox-kernel-helper (which are far less often).
(Can gladly send the version with d/postinst as well)

If the pve-manager patch gets applied - I'd push the equivalent change to
pmg and provide one for pbs.

Tested on legacy and uefi VMs installed with pve-8.0 iso and
grub-efi-amd64 (and systemd-boot) removed vs. installed.
