Historically grub2 built image paths using two File Path nodes - one for
directory and one for file name relative to directory. These nodes had
path names that were not NULL terminated.

Recently we had bug report that secure boot using grub2 failed. It was
tracked down to exactly the fact that paths were not NULL terminated.
See

Unfortunately this caused another regression which looks like firmware
truncating passed image path on first NULL

Could someone clarify what is expected by EFI spec? Should each Path
Name (even intermediate) be NULL terminated, or spec intends to say that
only full path must be NULL terminated?
