Construct a human readable platform identifier from GRUB's built-in
variables and use it in menu item descriptions.
Only add the menu entries for the additional tools (UEFI shell,
Memtest86+) if the files exist.
Modify baseline's `grub.cfg` to closer match releng.

* Do not manually load modules that will get loaded by invoking a command.
* Explicitly load serial modules.
* Move `insmod all_video` after the font is loaded.

configs/{baseline,releng}/grub/grub.cfg:
Use `console` as grub's `terminal_output`, as with `gfxterm` only a blank screen is shown on some hardware.

Use the shorter and more nicer looking `UUID=` *tags* instead of the
`/dev/disk/by-uuid/` paths.
This requires mkinitcpio-archiso v68.

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.

embedded grub.cfg
The `grub.cfg` embedded in the GRUB binaries already sets `ARCHISO_HINT`
and `ARCHISO_UUID` in most cases. To avoid performing the same searches
multiple times, use the existing variables.

There are claims that some UEFI allegedly natively support NTFS.
Preload the required GRUB modules to support booting from NTFS on such
systems.
Additionally preload the exFAT and UEF modules, because, why not?

volume it's on
Search for `/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` and pass the UUID of the
volume it's on as `archisodevice`. mkarchiso will replace
`%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%` with a hardcoded value generated using
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` durring ISO build.
This allows to prepare an UEFI bootable installation medium by simply
copying the directory structure without having to touch `grub.cfg`.
Relying on the volume UUID instead of its LABEL also avoids collisions
of multiple ISOs created in the same month.
Fixes #202

The default is now copytoram=auto which enables copying to RAM when the rootfs image size is less than 4 GiB and free RAM exceeds the rootfs image size + 2 GiB.
See https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/issues/13 and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/mkinitcpio/mkinitcpio-archiso/-/merge_requests/26.
Implements #177.

Try to initialize a serial device and use it for input and output.
Add more comments to grub.cfg to explain what is done.

* Set the default boot entry and its timeout.
* Add classes to menu entries to allow theming them.
