rename binary_loopback_cfg to binary_grub_cfg
when loopback support was introduced, it initially duplicated the code for generating a grub2 config, before the duplicated code was removed from the grub-pc script, effectively thus moving grub config generation to the loopback feature script. grub-efi support was added after this. this results in a misleading filename, since the `binary_loopback_cfg` script is essential for use of grub-pc|grub-efi, and actually only has a single line of code on top that's needed for adding actual loopback support on top. (when grub-pc and grub-efi are not used, the entire script is still needed for loopback support to work). so here we rename it to make better sense, and correct/clarify bits of documentation.
