Removes cmdline entries with `grubby --remove-args` semantics: a bare name drops the argument whichever value it holds, a name/value pair drops it only on an exact match. Signed-off-by: Mihaela Balutoiu <mbalutoiu@cloudbasesolutions.com>

Use `grubby --update-kernel=ALL` to update kernel arguments on BLS-based systems such as RHEL 10, where `grub2-mkconfig` does not propagate them to `/boot/loader/entries`. Signed-off-by: Mihaela Balutoiu <mbalutoiu@cloudbasesolutions.com>
Existing `name=value` arguments are parsed as `key_val`, so appending them as `single` values duplicated them. Signed-off-by: Mihaela Balutoiu <mbalutoiu@cloudbasesolutions.com>

Failing to update the kernel console options breaks text console functionality on affected platforms.
The issue is caused by BLS being enabled by default in
/etc/default/grub. OnRHEL 10, kernel arguments are managed through/boot/loader/entries, andgrub2-mkconfigdoes not propagate the updated options there.This PR implements the following:
Grub2ConfigEditor.remove_from_option, withgrubby --remove-argssemantics: a bare name drops the argument whichever value it holds, a name/value pair drops it only on an exact match._update_kernel_cmdline_argsto the baseOSMorphingtools, editing bothGRUB2cmdline options throughGrub2ConfigEditor. Debian and SUSE each had their own copy of these edits and now share this one.grubby --update-kernel=ALL, which reaches the BLS boot entries.
