[PATCH] grub: split grub-editenv into it's own package

[Ioan-Adrian Ratiu]

From: Alejandro del Castillo <alejandro.delcastillo@ni.com>

grub-editenv edits the env block at runtime on a booted system. Other
tools can depend on it to configure a live system, for ex. to set next
boot mode upon reboot. By splitting grub-editenv, tools don't have to
depend on the entire grub package (grub-editenv just edits one file).

Shouldn't grub rdepend, or at least rrecommend, grub-editenv?

Good catch. RDEPENDS_grub would preserve the previous behaviour.
I'll send v2.

Thank you!
