[Bug 1288495] [NEW] drop grub-legacy from server image?

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

In discussion with Scott Moser, we've determined that there's probably
no longer any reason to support grub1 on the server ISO.  grub-installer
no longer installs it automatically, only if you preseed it - with the
rationale given in the changelog that you might want to do this when
installing on Xen (i.e., if booted using pv-grub).

The grub-legacy-ec2 package exists to provide compatibility with pv-grub
on cloud images without depending on grub1. It might be a good idea to
migrate to this for the server images as well - and maybe on *all* other
images where we still include grub1.  Maybe we want to include some
installer integration for grub-legacy-ec2 before dropping it, however?
