Move the .uuid file to /boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid
To prevent the file from being accidentally missed when someone copies the ISO's contents, let's not place it in a directory that starts with a dot. Since all GRUB related files are in /boot/grub/, put it there too. Instead of using a more unique UUID for the file name, use `YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid` which matches the ISO's modification date in UTC,i.e. its "UUID". If multiple ISOs would be generated in the exact same second, the ISO 9660 modification date (i.e. its "UUID") would be the same, so there would be not way to distinguish between the volumes anyway. This also makes the file look less suspicious to the casual glance.

- Support *file system transposition* to simplify boot medium preparation for UEFI boot via extracting the ISO image
contents to a drive. ``grub.cfg`` does not hardcode the ISO volume label anymore, instead GRUB will search for volume
- with a ``/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid`` file on it.
+ with a ``/boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid`` file on it.
- Preload GRUB's NTFS modules for UEFI that allegedly have native NTFS support. GRUB's exFAT and UDF modules are also
preloaded in case someone finds them useful.
