[Bug 1876974] [NEW] Support multiple ESPs

Public bug reported:

Subiquity has the brilliant feature of supporting installing to multiple
ESP's. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1817066 for
details.

grub-install does not mirror this feature this out of the box, but
updates the ESP on /boot/efi only by default on such an installation.
Whenever efi potentially changes, this leaves the backup ESP without the
update.

Adding this support would be coherent, since an admin may logically
assume the install mode is supported beyond the installation phase.

** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
