grub-editenv: Make grub-editenv chase symlinks including those across devices

The grub-editenv create command will wrongly overwrite /boot/grub2/grubenv
with a regular file if grubenv is a symbolic link. But instead, it should
create a new file in the path the symlink points to.

This lets /boot/grub2/grubenv be a symlink to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv
even when they're different mount points, which allows grub2-editenv to be
the same across platforms (i.e. UEFI vs BIOS).

For example, in Fedora the GRUB EFI builds have prefix set to /EFI/fedora
(on the EFI System Partition), but for BIOS machine it'll be /boot/grub2
(which may or may not be its own mountpoint).

With this patch, on EFI machines we can make /boot/grub2/grubenv a symlink
to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv, and the same copy of grub-set-default will
work on both kinds of systems.

Windows doesn't implement a readlink primitive, so the current behaviour is
maintained for this operating system.
