Move the .uuid file to /boot/grub/YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid
To prevent the file from being accidentally missed when someone copies
the ISO's contents, let's not place it in a directory that starts with a
dot. Since all GRUB related files are in /boot/grub/, put it there too.

Instead of using a more unique UUID for the file name, use
`YYYY-mm-dd-HH-MM-SS-00.uuid` which matches the ISO's modification date
in UTC,i.e. its "UUID". If multiple ISOs would be generated in the exact
same second, the ISO 9660 modification date (i.e. its "UUID") would be
the same, so there would be not way to distinguish between the volumes
anyway. This also makes the file look less suspicious to the casual
glance.

configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: reuse ARCHISO_HINT and ARCHISO_UUID passed from the embedded grub.cfg
The `grub.cfg` embedded in the GRUB binaries already sets `ARCHISO_HINT`
and `ARCHISO_UUID` in most cases. To avoid performing the same searches
multiple times, use the existing variables.

mkarchiso: do not place memtest86+ in netboot artifacts
Move memtest86+ to `/boot/memtest86+/` on ISO 9660. That directory is
not copied to netboot artifact output.

Netboot boot menu https://ipxe.archlinux.org/releng/netboot/archlinux.ipxe
does not have entries for memtest and archiso-manager removes these files
(not the EFI one, though) before uploading the release files anyway.

Preload GRUB's NTFS, exFAT and UDF modules
There are claims that some UEFI allegedly natively support NTFS.
Preload the required GRUB modules to support booting from NTFS on such
systems.

Additionally preload the exFAT and UEF modules, because, why not?

configs/*/grub/grub.cfg: search for a .uuid file in /.disk/ and use the volume it's on
Search for `/.disk/%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%.uuid` and pass the UUID of the
volume it's on as `archisodevice`. mkarchiso will replace
`%UUID_SEARCH_FILENAME%` with a hardcoded value generated using
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` durring ISO build.

This allows to prepare an UEFI bootable installation medium by simply
copying the directory structure without having to touch `grub.cfg`.

Relying on the volume UUID instead of its LABEL also avoids collisions
of multiple ISOs created in the same month.

Fixes #202
