Code Issues Proposed changes

Debian: Disable LAT BIOS grub updates for UEFI installs 

The LAT installer will attempt to write the legacy BIOS grub information
after exiting from the %mkfs hook. Skip it, in case of a UEFI
installation, as we don't have a BIOS boot partition to support legacy
UEFI partition schemes.

This eliminates grub install warnings/error that can be ignored as the
UEFI installation is successful:

  /sbin/grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.

NOTE: The following message will now only be seen on BIOS booted labs as
      this is output from grub-install.

  Installation finished. No error reported.

Test Plan:
PASS - VBox AIO-SX UEFI/NVME clean install
