[Bug 1374886] [NEW] os-prober can't parse grub.cfg menu entries using linux16=

[Bernie Innocenti]

Public bug reported:

The Fedora tool 'grubby' creates grub.cfg menu entries using 'linux16'
and 'initrd16' instead of the more common 'linux' and 'initrd'.

This causes /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted/40grub2 to ignore those
entries. Detection falls back to 90fallback, which can't detect the
kernel parameters used by Fedora (rhgb quiet), thus causing Fedora to
boot in text mode when started by an Ubuntu-generated grub config.

** Affects: os-prober (Ubuntu)
