[bug#41011] [PATCH] gnu: grub: Support for network boot via tftp/nfs.

[Stefan <stefan-guix@vodafonemail.de>]

* gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-efi-net-bootloader): New efi bootloader for
network booting via tftp/nfs, prepared for chain loading.
(make-grub-efi-net-bootloader): New macro to define a customized bootloader
based on 'grub-efi-net-bootloader'.
(install-grub-efi-net): New bootloader installer for tftp.
(grub-root-search): Adding support for tftp root.
(eye-candy): Use 'gfxterm' for all systems if selected via 'terminal-outputs'.
* gnu/system.scm (read-boot-parameters): Prevent devices with ":/" from being
treated as a file system label.
