* util/misc.c (grub_util_warn): New function.  Emmits a warning
        unconditionally.
        * include/grub/util/misc.h (grub_util_warn): New declaration.

        * util/i386/pc/grub-install.in: Understand --force and pass it down
        to grub-setup.

        * util/i386/pc/grub-setup.c (main): Understand --force and pass it
        down to setup().
        (setup): Improve error messages and add warnings when requested to
        install in odd layouts.  Refuse to install using blocklists unless
        --force was set.
