grub-probe is needed to check partmap (so we don't have to assume gpt).

grub-mkdevicemap is needed to create device.map, without which grub-probe
won't work.

Note: this grub-install.in is based on the i386/pc version.  I tried to keep
changes minimal, so if you diff them it'll produce readable output.

One thing that I'm not sure about is the CLI inconsistency.  Perhaps it
shouldn't take the directory as a standalone parameter, and instead use
--root-directory?

Not really sure about these.  Seems ugly, but biosdisk.h has the
grub_util_biosdisk_get_grub_dev definition, which is not really
i386/pc-specific.  Also, note that powerpc needs them as well if we
want update-grub to work there (haven't submitted this part, because it
grub-probe on powerpc has other issues that I cannot debug).
