Description
On older Silverblue systems (installed from Silverblue 33 at least), the GRUB config is stored in the ESP instead of /boot.
The migration logic that we have right now is not enough, as it would have to look at this file as well, clean it up, and enable blscfg and maybe also make sure to add the info pointing GRUB to the boot partition to find the boot entries.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the existing static GRUB configuration migration and examining how it finds and updates configurations. Compare that logic with GRUB configurations stored in the ESP, then verify that migration cleans the ESP configuration, enables blscfg, and preserves the boot partition information needed to find boot entries.
