Woof-ce should not depend on FrugalPup for grub-efi binaries, they should be in 'usr/lib/grub' #4322

Recently I produced a new FrugalPup which stored the grub-efi binaries in a different file with a different internal format. This caused the 'mk_iso.sh' to fail for some builds. It should not be like this, FrugalPup should be able to obtain these binaries from the Puppy it is installing, not the other way around. This should also work well for other grub2 installers.

My suggestion is that there should exist a 'usr/lib/grub/grub-efi-bin.tar.xz' file that contains just the ".efi" files. To that end, we need to start with a script that can generate this file and insert it into Woof-CE. I have attached a 'downloadBins2.06' script. This does not actually do any thing. Each "echo" line needs to be replaced with code that actually does the thing described. But it does contain all the correct filenames. (When I did this process, I used GUI tools)
