Vinícius Ferrão 033b16d522 feat(mknb): write grub2 discovery configs for riscv64
mknb only knew how to publish a discovery boot configuration for x86
(PXELINUX and xNBA) and POWER (petitboot). Any other architecture got a
Genesis kernel and initramfs under /tftpboot/xcat and nothing that would
make a firmware boot them, so riscv64 discovery could not start.

riscv64 nodes boot through UEFI and grub2. Write one grub2 configuration
per network, /tftpboot/boot/grub2/grub.cfg-<network hex prefix>, using
the same network keys as the PXELINUX files. A net-booted grub2.riscv64
searches grub.cfg-01-<mac>, grub.cfg-<8 hex ip> and then shorter prefixes
of the ip, so the per-node files that nodeset writes keep priority and
the network file is only reached by clients without a node configuration.
The file is regenerated from the published Genesis artifacts (lzma
preferred over gzip), guarded by $grub_cpu so other grub2 architectures
can share it later, carries the xcatd endpoint, the serial console and
BOOTIF=$net_default_mac, and is dropped for networks served by a
:noboot interface. It is written by name rather than into an existing
file, because on a /32 network nodeset's hard link for the node carries
the same name.

Publishing a Genesis image now also drops the other compression variant
of that architecture, so a leftover genesis.fs.<arch>.lzma can no longer
be paired with a freshly published kernel by this configuration or by
--configfileonly. And since these configurations are only reachable
through grub2.<arch>, which xCAT does not build, a missing boot loader is
reported instead of leaving the nodes to time out in firmware.

xcatconfig now also runs mknb riscv64 when xCAT-genesis-base-riscv64 is
installed, and the usage text lists the architecture.
