Subject: [PATCH] normal/main: Discover the device to read the config from as a

 fallback

The GRUB core.img is generated locally, when this is done the grub2-probe

tool figures out the device and partition that needs to be read to parse

the GRUB configuration file.

But in some cases the core.img can't be generated on the host and instead

has to be done at package build time. For example, if needs to get signed

with a key that's only available on the package building infrastructure.

If that's the case, the prefix variable won't have a device and partition

but only a directory path. So there's no way for GRUB to know from which

device has to read the configuration file.

To allow GRUB to continue working on that scenario, fallback to iterating

over all the available devices, if reading the config failed when using

the prefix and fw_path variables.
