On Mac rescue image is booted from HFS+ partition, so bootpath looks like
/ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(1,1f)/ATAPI(0,0,0)/HD(3,5d1,ca3,0000000000000000,20,0)/EndEntire
grub fails to find device for this path because it cannot scan partition
table. The simplest fix is to add part_apple by default.
Split single string in help message into several strings used before in shell
grub-mkrescue to minimize changes to existing translations.

Add grub_util_disable_fd_syncs call to turn grub_util_fd_sync calls into
no-ops, and use it in programs that copy files but do not need to take
special care to sync writes (grub-mknetdir, grub-rescue,
grub-mkstandalone).
On my laptop, this reduces partmap_test's runtime from 1236 seconds to
204 seconds.
the function of these files exceeds what can be sanely handled in shell
in posix-comaptible way. Also writing it in C extends the functionality
to non-UNIX-like OS and minimal environments.
