Add boot loader field to distro

Allow user to override which boot loader he/she wants to use to netboot
a distribution instead of always automatically selecting it. TFTP/DHCP
files generation can now know which boot loader was selected.

It is needed for distros, because some distros, particularly
little-endian powerpc ones, need to use grub2, while historical
distributions can continue to use yaboot. Additionally, PowerKVM
installations need to be able to use pxelinux.

Note that I'm currently working around an issue I hit with the presence
(or lack) of utils.SIGNATURE_CACHE. In manage_import_signatures.py,
utils.SIGNATURE_CACHE is {}, because (I think) it's loaded before the
signatures are in CobblerAPI. If we were to fix that issue, we could
simplify the utils code, which currently handles two call-paths, one of
which has the SIGNATURE_CACHE available and one that doesn't (thus
relying on the API function to get to it).

Add boot loader to system

Allow user to override which boot loader he/she wants to use to netboot
a system instead of always automatically selecting it. TFTP/DHCP file
generation code can now know which boot loader was selected now that the
boot loader selection can be overridden.

It is needed for systems, because on certain Power8 systems running in
baremetal, petitboot is used to netboot and requires a pxelinux
configuration regardless of distribution (which might use yaboot or
grub2 normally). The platform ("PowerNV") could be used to determine
this, but currently Cobbler doesn not have a notion of platform.

Commit c02e212 ("changed ui for batch profile change to jquery") is missing

The changes necessary from $subject commit were reverted upstream, but
that in turn broke profile selection popups (e.g., bulk actions ->
change profile from system list page). The original code did have a bug
in it, which provoked the exception seen in 2b5f68e, as it was not
intializing the profiles array to an empty list.

Fix for https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/1333.

manage_import_signatures: search for architectures in reverse length order

For RHEL7 on ppc64, for example, Cobbler ends up creating both a ppc and ppc64
entry. Leaving aside the fact that I don't think 32-bit ppc is supported by
RHEL7 (at least not with this iso, that's for sure), the issue is that both
"ppc" and "ppc64" (both listed in signature["supported_arches"]) are "found"
within the signature["kernel_arch"] file which contains "ppc64".

Two fixes are needed:

1) self.get_valid_arches() should return a reverse-sorted list by length
(longest first)
2) If a match is found (foo[arch] will be set to 1), the arch loop should be
broken out of, as the first match found is the most specific (matches the most
characters)

Ubuntu: auto configure netcfg over command-line

For network booting the Ubuntu installer, we need to configure the

cobbler: add powerpc grub2 support

GRUB2 is a highly modular and flexible replacement for GRUB. Newer
distributions (FC20+, RHEL7+, SLES12+, Ubuntu 14.04+) support GRUB2 on
Power, and yaboot is now deprecated there. Add "grub2" as a valid
boot_loader type, and provide a template for its config file. GRUB2
will only be used if a signature on import indicates the distribution
should use it instead of yaboot. Eventually, we would probably remove
yaboot support (or switch the default around, at least).

Jorgen, I also need to provide you with a binary grub2 tarball that can
be used by get_loaders, I think. What is the process to do that, as they
are not in the repository?
