This now makes filename unavailable to progress module (which gets the
last grub_file in a chain) and it still does not cover corner case of
failing grub_strdup in grub_file_open.

Fixing the former requires some redesign. But as long as we allow
filename to remain empty in grub_file_open every user must explicitly
check for it being NULL.
