Fix GRUB boot configuration to resolve flashing cursor issue

- Add terminal and video output configuration in embedded GRUB config
- Load essential GRUB modules (part_gpt, fat, ext2, linux, video drivers)
- Enhance main GRUB config with proper terminal setup and multiple boot options
- Add verbose and recovery mode boot menu entries
- Remove 'quiet' parameter to show boot messages for debugging
- Add console output to both tty0 and serial console
- Include modules in grub-mkstandalone for better hardware compatibility
