Subject: [PATCH] blscfg: Expand the BLS options field instead of showing its

 variables

The values of the BLS fragment fields can either be string literals or

grub2 environment variables, the latter will be expanded by grub2 when

the boot entry is selected.

But from a usability point of view, is much more convenient if the BLS

parse code expand any variables that are present in the options field.

That will allow users to select an entry in the menu by pressing the e

key and edit the kernel command line parameters. So for example instead

of showing the following:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.17.0 $kernelopts

It would show something like the following:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.17.0 root=UUID=cec677c9-c890-4103-b94a-bcc191642935
