pygrub: Add HybridISO support for PyGrub2
grub-mkrescue internally uses xorriso, which generates a so-called "Hybrid ISO": The ISO images also contains a DOS partition table, which allows the identical ISO file to be stored on an USB stick for booting from it. This breaks PyGrub, since it (wrongly) detects only the DOS partition table and uses the first partition instead of the complete ISO file. Add a check to detect HybridISO files and use offset 0 in addition to partition table parsing.
