Bug description:
  backport upstream commits to precise-updates
  2b23074a0c082219fe4490fa05b13a481b34b41e(partial),
  e89c2d48a991590c18c28ac867ccda67d4425187 and
  44d47bbe6fe6ed0c8fc5855c07b2917a38371ae4 to support high resolution
  for grub terminal.

  Upstream bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39682

  [Impact]

  When entering GRUB menu on a high resolution computer (resolution >
  2040),  the boot menu has been compressed into a much smaller
  rectangle in the far left of the display, likely 20% of the screen.

  [Test Case]

  Press shift if booting as legacy or ESC if booting as EFI to enter
  GRUB menu on a high resolution computer. See the output of GRUB menu.

  [Regression Potential]

  The patch mostly changes terminal part of GRUB. So testing should
  focus on the gfxterm and console output and input.
