LVM2_member, since one isn't supposed to touch physical volumes

underlying device to read-only (thanks, Ivo De Decker; closes: #701814).
Note that this introduces a dependency on dmsetup on Linux

to check for them as well and saves on divergence here.
- Add os-probes/mounted/sparc/80solaris to recognize Solaris/SPARC
(Fabio M. Di Nitto).
- Add linux-boot-probes/mounted/sparc/50silo support (Fabio M. Di
Nitto).
- Try to load ufs module, for Solaris support (Fabio M. Di Nitto).
- Tighten check for whether we're running in d-i; anna-install isn't
quite enough because if you're running d-i code outside d-i it's
sometimes reasonable to install a shim for anna-install.
* Don't probe partitions mounted on /target/boot.
* Teach linux-boot-prober to deal with mounted partitions correctly,
unless they're mounted on /, /target, or /target/boot (LP: #14780). This
should largely obsolete the --mounted option.
* Only use /target/bin/mount if it exists, in order to work better outside
d-i.

* Make the microsoft OS test completely case-insensative in the file and
directory named it looks for. This is reportedly needed at least for
Vista (Boot/BCD vs boot/bcd), and was already done on an ad-hoc basis
for 2000/XP/NT4.0.
* Patch from VMiklos to add support for recognising Frugalware.
[ Frans Pop ]
* Skip partitions on a physical disk that is part of a Serial ATA RAID disk.
* Use log-output when checking for volume groups.
* Also use the case insensitive test for Dell Utility partition detection.
[ Fabio M. Di Nitto ]
* Skip partitions that have the "whole_disk" sysfs attribute set.
The kernel set the attribute for partitions like SUN Whole Disk.
These partitions that encompass the whole disk can be mounted
and often confused for the first partition on the disk.
In situations where the OS is on the first partition, it would be
detected twice in the first and the whole disk partition.

* Patch from VMiklos to sed off (hdn,n) from the front of a kernel path,
as seen in SuSE grub configs. Closes: #258623 although this is fixed
imprefectly since it assumes stripping the string is enough.
* Patch from VMiklos to not require an initrd be specified in the grub
probe.
* Patch from VMiklos to add --mounted option to linux-boot-prober.
May not be useful for d-i but in other situations including for the
Frugalware installer.
[ Frans Pop ]
* When parsing a lilo configuration, dereference symbolic links. Not doing
this will break booting the old OS if the link was in / and there was a
separate /boot partition. And grub in general prefers full paths.
Closes: #259825.
* Use environment variable to pass --mounted option to lower level scripts
