Subject: [PATCH] Simplify BLS entry key val pairs lookup

The <key,value> pairs found in the BLS are being sorted but this isn't
really needed and it makes the implementation complex and error prone.

For example, the current implementation has the following issues:

1) Fields not present in the grub2 menu entry

  linux /linuz
  initrd /foo
  initrd /bar

  load_video
  set gfx_payload=keep
  insmod gzio
  linux /boot/linuz
  initrd /boot/bar

2) Fields present but in the wrong order

  title Fedora (4.16.6-300.fc28.x86_64-tuned) 28 (Twenty Eight)
  version 4.16.6-300.fc28.x86_64
  linux /vmlinuz-4.16.6-300.fc28.x86_64
  initrd /foo.img
  initrd /bar.img
  options $kernelopts
  id fedora-20180430150025-4.16.6-300.fc28.x86_64

  load_video
  set gfx_payload=keep
  insmod gzio
  linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.16.6-300.fc28.x86_64 $kernelopts
  initrd /boot/bar.img /boot/foo.img

It's important to preserve the order in which fields have been defined
in the BLS fragment since for some of the fields the order has meaning.
For example, initramfs images have to be passed to the kernel in order
that were defined in the BLS fragment.

This patch simplifies the <key,value> pairs storage and lookup. Rather
than sorting and attempt to later figure out what's the expected order,
just store it in the same order as they were defined in the BLS config
file and return in that same order to callers when these look them up.
