Introduce ERROR_PLATFORM_NOT_SUPPORT_SSP environment variable to treat
the "--enable-stack-protector is only supported on EFI platforms" message
as a warning instead of an error. If ERROR_PLATFORM_NOT_SUPPORT_SSP is
set to "no" (case-insensitive), then the message will be printed as
a warning. Otherwise, it prints as an error. The default behavior is to
print the message as an error.
For any wrapper build script that has some variation of:
for p in SELECTED_GRUB_PLATFORMS; do \
configure --enable-stack-protector \
--with-platform${P} ... || die; \
done
make
The GRUB will fail to build if SELECTED_GRUB_PLATFORMS contains a platform
that does not support SSP.
Such wrapper scripts need to work-around this issue by modifying the
above for-loop, so it conditionally passes --enable-stack-protector to
configure for the proper GRUB platform(s).
However, if the above example is modified to have to conditionally pass
in --enable-stack-protector, its behavior is effectively the same as the
proposed change. Additionally, The list of SSP supported platforms is
now in 2 places. One in the configure script and one in the build wrapper
script. If the second list is not properly maintained it could mistakenly
disable SSP for a platform that later gained support for it.

Update grub-mkconfig.in and 10_linux.in to support grub-probe's new
partuuid target. Update grub.texi documentation. The following table
shows how GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID, GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID, and
initramfs detection interact:
Initramfs GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID Linux Root
detected Set Set ID Method
false false false part UUID
false false true part UUID
false true false dev name
false true true dev name
true false false fs UUID
true false true part UUID
true true false fs UUID
true true true dev name
Note: GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID and GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID equate to
'false' when unset or set to any value other than 'true'.
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID defaults to 'true'.

Rename grub_gpt_part_type to grub_gpt_part_guid and update grub_gpt_partentry
to use this type for both the partition type GUID string and the partition GUID
string entries. This change ensures that the two GUID fields are handled more
consistently and helps to simplify the changes needed to add Linux partition
GUID support.

Define print_gpt_guid(), so there is a central function for printing
GUID strings. This change is a precursor for later patches which rely
on this logic.
