chain.c32: add grubcfg= for passing an alternative config filename to GRUB Legacy and cleanup the root partition passing
GRUB Legacy reserves 89 bytes for storing the filename of the configfile
from memory address 0x8217 to 0x826f.
We allow overwriting the default value (/boot/grub/menu.lst) when
grubcfg=<filename> is used together with grub=<loader>.
Examples:
chain.c32 fs grub=/boot/grub/stage2 grubcfg=/boot/grub/grub.lst
chain.c32 hd1,10 grub=/boot/grub/stage2 grubcfg=/boot/grub/grub.lst
Use a structure instead of hard-coded offsets for modifying the install_partition variable
(and the configfile name) in the stage2 file.
Add some comments about the "boot information format" of the Multiboot specification, which
is very similar to the install_partition variable used by GRUB Legacy.

In order to consolidate the installer option-parsing system,
we add the --mbr (-m), --active (-a), and --force (-f)

libinstaller.
Since the -m and -a options are not currently valid for the
Linux 'syslinux' and 'extlinux' installers, we add error
messages to both of these. The -f option is allowed but
does nothing for them.

installers: handle asprintf() correctly
It appears that the glibc version of asprintf() is braindamaged, and
doesn't set the target pointer to NULL in the event of an error (only
returns -1). Therefore we need to check the return value. Just in
case someone else made the *opposite* error, also check the pointer.
Bleh. The glibc documentation states that *BSD sets the pointer to
NULL, but instead of following that, the glibc people put
warn_unused_result on asprintf. Sigh.
