Build GRUB additionally with UEFI support #885

Tested on keineahnung.

As GRUB was updated, it can be reinstalled to the MBR of existing systems, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

$ mxgrub --list

  Note: GRUB version installed in /usr differs from GRUB version used to boot.

  Consider updating the boot-loader with:

           grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda

available kernels:

  mariux-4.14.55-216 <---- DEFAULT <---- CHOSEN
  mariux-4.14.48-214
  mariux-4.14.39-213
  mariux-4.14.33-212
  mariux-4.14.30-211
  mariux-4.14.23-210
/dev/sda: Permission denied
$ sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

It’s all in the git history.

Newer systems, like the Dell OptiPlex 5055 with Ryzen CPU and firmware version 1.1.10 and 1.1.15, have problems with legacy boot. Therefore, also build GRUB for x86_64-efi. Abuse, `mee_install_post()` to build GRUB for EFI after the first `make install`.
