If configfile is relative pathname, extend it with current ($root) so its
interpretation does not change if $root is changed later.

Defalut font color on PC console seems to be light-gray; this is
what user also gets in rescue prompt and what is defined as
GRUB_TERM_DEFAULT_NORMAL_COLOR. But normal.mod defaults to white.
This makes unpleasant visual effect as colors are changed after kernel
is booted.
Use the same color eveywhere for consistency and default to light-gray
as this is also what at least Linux kernel is using by default.
This lets us cope with block device drivers that don't implement
HDIO_GETGEO. Fixes Ubuntu bug #1237519.
* grub-core/osdep/linux/hostdisk.c (sysfs_partition_path): New
function.
(sysfs_partition_start): Likewise.
(grub_util_find_partition_start_os): Try sysfs_partition_start
before HDIO_GETGEO.
This was the only instance of "library" in core config. A bug was
reported that -fno-stack-protector wasn't passed to it. Instead of
figuring out why it failed just remove this construction used
needlessly.
Add a new timeout_style environment variable and a corresponding
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE configuration key for grub-mkconfig. This
controls hidden-timeout handling more simply than the previous
arrangements, and pressing any hotkeys associated with menu entries
during the hidden timeout will now boot the corresponding menu entry
immediately.
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=<non-empty> + GRUB_TIMEOUT=<non-zero> now
generates a warning, and if it shows the menu it will do so as if
the second timeout were not present. Other combinations are
translated into reasonable equivalents.
A bit tricky because this function has to continue to work without
heap for short strings. Fixing prealloc to 32 arguments is reasonable
but make all stack references use 32-bit offset rather than 8-bit one.
So split va_args preparsing to separate function and put the prealloc
into the caller.
references to mdadm from otherwise generic code.
(grub_util_exec_pipe): Likewise.
(grub_util_exec_pipe_stderr): Likewise.
* grub-core/osdep/unix/getroot.c (grub_util_pull_lvm_by_command):
This function calls vgs, not mdadm; adjust variable names
accordingly.
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.
