grub: T4548: Fixed configuration files order
To iterate files on ext* file systems GRUB reads their inodes one by one, ignoring names. This breaks our configuration logic that relies on proper loading order. This commit adds a helper `sort_inodes()` that needs to be used whenever GRUB configuration files are created. It recreates files, changing their inodes in a way where inodes order matches alphabetical order.
