fix: make GRUB serial console conditional on hardware availability

Browse Source 
Unconditionally enabling serial terminal broke gfxterm on EFI systems
without a serial port. Now installs a /etc/grub.d/01_serial script
that probes for the serial port before enabling it. Also copies
unicode.pf2 font to boot partition for GRUB graphical mode.
