[Merge] ~beidl/grub:focal-devel-bootcounter into ~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu:focal-devel

[Alfred E. Neumayer]

Alfred E. Neumayer has proposed merging ~beidl/grub:focal-devel-bootcounter into ~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu:focal-devel.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Core Development Team (ubuntu-core-dev)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~beidl/grub/+git/grub/+merge/409920

Implements "increment" and "decrement" commands as an additional module for counting boot attempts.
Can be used in automatic failover mechanisms where booted userspace can reset the counter
while the bootloader can switch to a different target system in case of exceeding the attempts.

Based on a patch by Peter Jones at Red Hat.
