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.
