[PATCH v2 2/3] stubdom: disable building pv-grub



The stubdom based pv-grub is using a very outdated version of grub
(0.97) and should not be used any longer. Mainline grub has support for
PV guests for a long time now, so that should be used as a boot loader
of a PV domain.

So disable building pv-grub per default. In case someone really wants
to continue using it he/she can still use a pv-grub binary from an older
Xen version or manually enable building it via:

  configure --enable-pv-grub
