bootloader: grub: Skip install-grub-efi when producing a disk image.
Fixes <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/44353>. Every bootloader should try their best to install themselves using only the MOUNT-POINT and otherwise do nothing. This requirement comes from the necessity to call INSTALL-GRUB when installing the (non-EFI) GRUB bootloader, which needs to populate the root file system with extra modules that cannot be fit in the core.img file, limited in size to 491520 bytes (by the i386-pc format required for legacy BIOS compatibility). As introducing bootloader knowledge at the level of the image code is undesirable, every bootloader should be adapted to support this fall-back for their installation procedure (TODO). * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub-efi)[efi-dir]: Skip when the EFI-DIR argument is set to #f.
