tools: add configure option for disabling pygrub
Add a "--disable-pygrub" option for being able to disable the build
and installation of pygrub.
There are two main reasons to do so:
- A main reason to use pygrub is to allow a PV guest to choose its
bitness (32- or 64-bit). Pygrub allows that by looking into the boot
image and to start the guest in the correct mode depending on the
kernel selected. With 32-bit PV guests being deprecated and the
possibility to even build a hypervisor without 32-bit PV support,
this use case is gone for at least some configurations.
- Pygrub is running in dom0 with root privileges. As it is operating
on guest controlled data (the boot image) and taking decisions based
on this data, there is a higher security risk. Not being possible
to use pygrub is thus a step towards a reduction of attack surface.
Default is still to build and install pygrub.
