Bug#425648: grub: Hang occurring slightly later for me

[Robert Millan]

reassign 425648 grub-installer
thanks

Hi folks;  GRUB 2 doesn't have this problem, and nobody seems interested in
debugging this bug for Legacy version of GRUB.  Not worth it IMHO, since it
is going to disappear really soon now.

How about if we solve this in grub-installer by probing for amd64/qemu and
switching to GRUB 2 when found?

See attached patch.  The `archdetect' part for subarch-x86-linux.c is loosely
based on code from the mips variant.
