Bug#1081703: systemd-boot: should default to having a chain-loading option for GRUB if grubx64.efi is installed

Package: systemd-boot
Version: 256.6-1
Severity: normal
If systemd-boot is installed on a system that already has GRUB installed then
it should install a loader/entries/grub.conf file with contents like the
following to chain-load to GRUB:
title GRUB
efi /EFI/debian/grubx64.efi
This means that if there's a problem with systemd-boot actually booting a
kernel (which is always a risk with a new boot loader) then calling GRUB will
be more likely to work.
