What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Installing an rpm-ostree system that uses bootupd with anaconda / kickstart, using

`bootloader --password=...`

What is the impact of this issue to you?

The password is silently ignored, using grub2-set-password is not enough

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

bootupd-0.2.25-1.el9.x86_64

(I'm using bootupd from CentOS stream)

How reproducible is this bug?:

100%

Steps to reproduce

1) install an ostree payload that has bootupd with anaconda

2) look at /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg and /boot/grub2/user.cfg

Expected results

It works !

Actual results

• /boot/grub2/user.cfg is not created (it should contain `GRUB2_PASSWORD=...`)
• the generated /boot/grub2/grub2.cfg does source user.cfg but is missing the logic to use GRUB2_PASSWORD (~ /etc/grub.d/01_users)

An important note, we MUST NOT use user.cfg as a generic config file, as grub2-set-password overwrite file
