Subject: [PATCH] blscfg: Expand the BLS options field instead of showing its
 variables

The values of the BLS fragment fields can either be string literals or
grub2 environment variables, the latter will be expanded by grub2 when
the boot entry is selected.

But from a usability point of view, is much more convenient if the BLS
parse code expand any variables that are present in the options field.

That will allow users to select an entry in the menu by pressing the e
key and edit the kernel command line parameters. So for example instead
of showing the following:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.17.0 $kernelopts

It would show something like the following:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.17.0 root=UUID=cec677c9-c890-4103-b94a-bcc191642935
