Add Grub2 v2.00 detection support.

Add Grub2 v2.00 detection support.

The core_dir variable is still in the compressed part of core.img
as it was the case with grub2 v1.99:
- In Grub2 v1.99, it was stored at the beginning of the
compressed part.
- In Grub2 v2.00, it is stored inside a module like done
for all real grub modules, embedded memdisk and the
embedded config file:

  - real Grub2 modules ==> grub_module_type = 0
  - embedded memdisk   ==> grub_module_type = 1
  - embedded config    ==> grub_module_type = 2
  - core_dir           ==> grub_module_type = 3

"Grub2 v1.97" was changed to "Grub2 v1.97-1.98" because both
v1.97 and v1.98 are detected in the same way by BIS.

Remove "--this" switch.

Now that bootinfoscript is distributed as a tarball, we never
have the problem that the browser adds a () part to the
script itself (only to the tarball itself), when a file with the
same name is (re)downloaded. So there is no need for the "--this"
switch anymore.

Fix crash of BIS when there is no embedded menu in grub4dos/wee.

Fix crash of BIS when there is no embedded menu in grub4dos/wee.
When no offset is found for the embedded menu, the ${offset_menu} variable
is empty. The check to see if the variable was empty was missing quotes,
which made the check always return true even if the variable was empty.

This patch fixes the folowing error message:
( / 2 ) + 16 : syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/ 2 ) + 16 ")

Use xz or lzma to decompress the lzma core_dir string of Grub2 (v1.99).

Use xz or lzma to decompress the lzma core_dir string of Grub2 (v1.99).
Not all distros have (un)lzma installed or available in the repos.
xz can decompress lzma streams and will probably replace lzma in
future distros, so check for availability of xz first.

Send informative error messages to stderr instead of to Error_Log file directly.

Send informative error messages to stderr instead of to Error_Log file directly.

Appending messages to the Error_Log file doesn't work on at least Fedora,
when stderr is redirected to a file with:

exec 2> ${Error_Log};

So it is better to write the messages to stderr instead of appending them to
the Error_Log file directly.

Check for root rights before checking that all programs are available.

Check for root rights before checking that all programs are available.

This avoids invalid complaints of missing programs when Boot Info Script
is run without sudo rights on distros where /sbin and /usr/sbin are not
in the $PATH variable of the normal user.

The new GPT GUID is 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4.
The old GPT GUID was the same as the Basic Data partition for Windows:
EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7.

The new GPT GUID was created to avoid that Linux partitions show
up as unformatted partitions in Windows.
