Ben Nemec 16f1de6115 Quote to handle empty DIB_RELEASE 
We don't export DIB_RELEASE in the base distro scripts, so many
times it will be an unset variable in 51-bootloader from the vm
element.  Currently that script doesn't handle the situation
properly and we get errors like:

line 160: [: =: unary operator expected

This change quotes the references to DIB_RELEASE so that won't
happen anymore.

vm

Sets up a partitioned disk (rather than building just one filesystem with no partition table).

By default the disk will have grub[2]-install run on it. In case GRUB2 is not available in the system, a fallback to Extlinux will happen. It's also possible to enforce the use of Extlinux by exporting a DIB_EXTLINUX variable to the environment.
