Bug Description

[Impact]
It is not possible to setup resilient boot in VMs using virtio-blk, as grub-multi-install does not recognize virtio-blk devices as valid ESPs

[Test plan]
Setup a VM with two virtio-blk devices, try to dpkg-reconfigure shim-signed and select ESPs on both devices.

[Where problems could occur]
TBD

We probably should fix this by using by-uuid instead of by-id; we also set UUID= for /boot/efi in the fstab. This should make it work as all ESPs should have UUIDs.

Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that specific release.
