Ian Wienand f6a2452d4c Only append DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE to default grub entry

The grub.cfg has two variables [1]

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX : used on all boots
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT : additionally used on all "normal" boots

The problem with I2298675dda1f699c572b3423e7274bc8bd7c1c9d is that it
appened the values in DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE to both of these,
resulting in duplicated arguments.  I don't think we considered that
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT actually already appends to the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX values.

Make DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE only append itself to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.  That seems to line up sensibly with the
name of the variable.

Documentation is enhanced around this, and a releasenote added.

bootloader

Installs grub[2] on boot partition on the system. In case GRUB2 is not available in the system, a fallback to Extlinux will happen. It's also possible to enforce the use of Extlinux by exporting a DIB_EXTLINUX variable to the environment.

Arguments

DIB_GRUB_TIMEOUT sets the grub menu timeout. It defaults to 5 seconds. Set this to 0 (no timeout) for fast boot times.
DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE sets parameters that are appended to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT values in grub.cfg configuration. It defaults to nofb nomodeset vga=normal.
