check_grub_legacy: inhibit when GRUB legacy is present
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Adds a new actor checking for whether any of the GRUB devices
have the old GRUB Legacy installed. If any of such devices
is detected, the upgrade is inhibited. The GRUB Legacy is detected
by searching for the string 'GRUB version 0.94' in `file -s`
of the device.
