Helps GRUB find the ShredOS volume when it otherwise cannot (such as when the IMG is used with Ventoy in BIOS)

The all-in-one ISO works well and is the jack-of-all-trades, covering all imaginable systems and scenarios, so include that in the default build configurations.

This adds a configuration for a jack-of-all-trades ISO, which allows BIOS and UEFI booting, being written to CD/DVD-ROM and USB drives, as well as having a writeable partition when being used from an USB drive. It basically combines the functionality of all prior release versions into one single ISO (per architecture).

To keep things consistent, copy the EFI configuration also to the EFI structure on the ISO9660 filesystem.

Improved the iso9660 argument order to better reflect modern best practices, inspired by the Debian distribution ISOs.

Additional configurations for the i586 builds were added, so that new users can easily build those targets without needing to change things around via "make menuconfig" (potentially triggering unwanted other changes, e.g. reset of GRUB modules).

The default configuration "shredos_defconfig" was amended to produce both the existing USB image (which allows writing PDFs to the USB) and the new hybrid ISO (which now allows BIOS+UEFI booting, as well as flashing to USB and burning to CD/DVD-ROM) in one build.
Additional configurations "shredos_img_defconfig" and "shredos_iso_defconfig" were added which only target either the existing USB image or the new hybrid ISO, for full flexibility.

Post-processing used a static (outdated?) GRUB image for USB image generation, but it is better to use the GRUB image produced as part of the building process, which ensures that the actual compiled GRUB version is used as bootloader in our images and not an outdated one.
Post-processing previously embedded the 64-bit EFI bootloader to 32-bit builds, as no architecture checks were in place. This was changed to check for architecture and embed the correct EFI bootloader for the respective target architecture instead.
The GRUB configuration was changed to use a menu, to allow the user to choose between standard and nomodeset parameters, while also allowing the user to edit the command line to append other kernel parameters they may need for their systems.
The vanity kernel image name was returned to bzImage to clearly mark the image for what it is, and to remain consistent with the ISO file generation where we have no direct control over the image now.

As the board is now using a GRUB menu, replacing these messages no longer makes sense (most users will never see them), so the additional patch is better removed.

The entire iso9660 filesystem folder was restructured to replace partially unreadable legacy code with modern, readable and modular structures. Hardcoded paths were replaced with variables, as much as possible, to make the code work with different setups. A mode "both" was added, producing Debian-style hybrid ISOs for both BIOS and EFI usage, while still allowing for flashing to USB and/or burning to CD/DVD-ROM. The configuration GUI (via "make menuconfig") was also refactored and adapted to the new changes.

* Completed Troubleshooting Information
* Update README.md with information about toggling font size
Previously the toggling of bigger font sizes required access to the virtual terminal. PartialVolume integrated a shortcut.
* Smaller Readibility Updates
* Clarification regarding Mac Support
Expanded definition of Mac to all intel powered macs
* Clarified supported systems
* Fixed typo on new Display Font Size Toggle paragraph
I added all information needed to reformat 520e disks and remove FTTH.
I took the liberty to link to my guides and replaced systemrescue in my guide with ShredOS, now that there's parallel preinstalled it makes more sense.
