Loaders rely on global variables for saving context which is consumed
in the boot hook and freed in the unload hook. In the case where a loader
command is executed twice, calling grub_loader_set() a second time executes
the unload hook, but in some cases this runs when the loader's global
context has already been updated, resulting in the updated context being
freed and potential use-after-free bugs when the boot hook is subsequently
called.
This adds a new API, grub_loader_set_ex(), which allows a loader to specify
context that is passed to its boot and unload hooks. This is an alternative
to requiring that loaders call grub_loader_unset() before mutating their
global context.
