Steve Langasek ea5f01942f divert grub when calling into lb chroot
UbuntuStudio image builds have recently begun failing as a result of adding a
grub theme customization to their flavor, which they then try to apply by
running update-grub from their maintainer scripts.  This fails with:

  Setting up plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio (0.57) ...
  update-alternatives: using /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntustudio-logo/ubuntustudio-logo.plymouth to provide /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth (default.plymouth) in auto mode
  update-alternatives: using /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntustudio-text/ubuntustudio-text.plymouth to provide /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth (text.plymouth) in auto mode
  update-initramfs: diverted by livecd-rootfs (will be called later)
  /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
  dpkg: error processing package plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio (--configure):
   installed plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Packages providing grub themes should be able to call update-grub from their
maintainer scripts, and they should be able to be installed under
livecd-rootfs.  It's surprising to me that this hasn't been a problem before
now for any flavors.

We know that grub-probe should not be called as part of an image build, so
just use our standard helper function to divert it before running the chroot
stage and undivert it after.
