Ian Wienand 79ea63f525 Futher bootloader cleanups 
GRUB_OPTS has never been documented as externally available, and is
not used.  Assume it's value to simplify the code.

Move the grub version check separately, as we only support grub2

Remove references to buliding i386 images.  I don't image it works in
any way.

Remove ci.md, which is no longer relevant.

Refactor the test for "building BIOS image on EFI system" consiberably
after these changes.

debian-minimal

The debian-minimal element uses debootstrap for generating a minimal image.

By default this element creates the latest stable release. The exact setting can be found in the element's environment.d directory in the variable DIB_RELEASE. If a different release of Debian should be created, the variable DIB_RELEASE can be set appropriately.

Note that this element installs systemd-sysv as the init system

The element obeys the DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR argument for mirroring (see debootsrap element documentation). However, the security repositories are separate for Debian, so we can not assume they exist at DIB_DISTRIBUTION_MIRROR. If you do not wish to use the upstream repository (from security.debian.org) override it with DIB_DEBIAN_SECURITY_MIRROR. The security suite name's subpath can also be overridden to something other than /updates with the DIB_DEBIAN_SECURITY_SUBPATH variable.
