Glenn Washburn c22e052fe2 tests/util/grub-shell: Add flexibility in QEMU firmware handling
First look for firmware files in the source directory and then, if not
found, look for them in locations where Debian installs them. Prefer to
use the unified firmware file and, if not found, use the pflash firmware
files split in to code and variables. By looking for files in the source
directory first, system firmware files can be overridden and it can be
ensured that the tests can be run regardless of the distro or where the
system firmware files are stored. If no firmware files are found, print
an error message and exit with error.

If a firmware VARS file is found, use it with snapshot mode enabled, which
makes the VARS writable to the virtual machine, but does not write back
the changes to the file. This allows using the readonly system VARS file
without copying it or using it in readonly mode, which causes the ARM
machine to fail. This also gives tests effectively their own ephemeral VARS
file that can be written to without causing side-effects for other tests.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc.

If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY
file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to
the maintainers.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
