bug#24346: [PATCH] Generate grub.cfg with correct paths when store is not in root partition

[csanchezdll@gmail.com (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama)]

Rebasing to current master (76f31f0b), as new file-append made merge
non-trivial.

* guix/scripts/system.scm (previous-grub-entries): resolve initrd
  symlink for old entries (on the host).
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-grub.cfg): resolve initrd symlink for
  current system (on the container).
* gnu/system/grub.scm: strip mount-point from GRUB filenames.
