grub-install already resolved passed install device to grub device. So do the
same as grub-setup and strip parenthesis if we get legacy (hdX).
I accidentally commited revert of 69ca97c820 and
this patch as part of f585c90505. So this commit
just adds ChangeLog entry and cosmetic whitespace fix.

Introduce common helper for both diskfilter and non-diskfilter case that
converts partition map names into module names.
Compare function used in qsort gets arguments by reference, so strcmp
cannot be used directly - it expects pointer to char, but gets pointer
to pointer to char.
Introduce new helper grub_qsort_strcmp and use it in grub-install.
This helper is going to be used in a couple more places as well so
add it to global file, not in grub-install.c.
Copying the themes directory in grub-shell isn't
parallel-test-friendly and breaks on the second test when the source
directory is read-only (as in "make distcheck"). Instead, add a
hidden --themes-directory option to grub-mkrescue et al, and use it
in grub-shell.
* util/grub-gen-asciih.c: Include FT_SYNTHESIS_H rather than
<freetype/ftsynth.h>, fixing build with FreeType 2.5.1.
* util/grub-gen-widthspec.c: Likewise.
* util/grub-mkfont.c: Likewise.
Shell version of grub-install called grub-setup which resolved
install device name and called main setup routine. C version of
grub-install calls main setup routine directly, which leads
to the error:
grub2-install: info: grub-bios-setup --verbose --force --skip-fs-probe --directory='/boot/grub2/i386-pc' --device-map='/boot/grub2/device.map' '(hd2)'.
grub2-install: info: reading /boot/grub2/i386-pc/boot.img.
grub2-install: info: reading /boot/grub2/i386-pc/core.img.
grub2-install: info: root is `(null)', dest is `(hd2)'.
grub2-install: info: Opening dest.
grub2-install: info: drive = -1.
grub2-install: error: disk `(hd2)' not found.
Move resolving of destination device name into main setup routine
so it is done consistently in both cases.
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.
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.
