Subject: [PATCH] Add grub-set-bootflag utility

This commit adds a new grub-set-bootflag utility, which can be used

to set known bootflags in the grubenv: boot_success or menu_show_once.

grub-set-bootflag is different from grub-editenv in 2 ways:

1) It is intended to be executed by regular users so must be installed

as suid root. As such it is written to not use any existing grubenv

related code for easy auditing.

It can't be executed through pkexec because we want to call it under gdm

and pkexec does not work under gdm due the gdm user having /sbin/nologin

as shell.

2) Since it can be executed by regular users it only allows setting

(assigning a value of 1 to) bootflags which it knows about. Currently

those are just boot_success and menu_show_once.

This commit also adds a couple of example systemd and files which show

how this can be used to set boot_success from a user-session:

docs/grub-boot-success.service

docs/grub-boot-success.timer

The 2 grub-boot-success.systemd files should be placed in /lib/systemd/user

and a symlink to grub-boot-success.timer should be added to

/lib/systemd/user/timers.target.wants.
