cfs/boot: Handle separate /boot mount

[Johan-Liebert1]

If /boot is mounted as XBOOTLDR partition then grub configs are stored there as we were unconditionally searching for grub configs in /sysroot/boot, which would fail every time. Fix this by checking if /boot is a mountpoint and then checking if we have grub configs in there.

This is only an issue with Grub as GrubCC and SystemdBoot both do not store anything inside of /sysroot/boot and will (should) always have the ESP mounted at /boot

Closes: #2399

will (should) always have the ESP mounted at /boot

Actually won't it be at /efi if that dir exists? We need to handle that

[Johan-Liebert1]

Oh, you're right, that's the case with both ESP and XBOOTLDR. So this needs to be updated for the other two bootloaders as well. I'll add that

[Johan-Liebert1]

So this isn't actually an issue for us since we manually search for the ESP and temp mount it to get a handle. Trying the following setup, everything works as intended

[root@fedora boot]# findmnt /boot

Also, currently, we just put everything in the ESP (for SystemdBoot and GrubCC) so I don't think this would be an issue for us. @cgwalters hope I'm not missing some use case here?
