[PATCH] create variables when exporting them

[Andreas Born <futur.andy@googlemail.com>]

This patch changes grub_env_export to create variables with empty value, 
if necessary.
This makes it possible to export variables before actually assigning 
them any value and is the way bash behaves.

Thanks
