[PATCH] add a counter in grub_dprintf

How about adding a counter to grub_dprintf to make it easy to instrument
GRUB and find which are the bottlenecks in boot time?

Sidenote: perhaps it'd be a good idea to conditionalize all grub_dprintf
calls with #ifdef DEBUG to obtain a smaller core.img.  It's not hard to
ask a user to rebuild if dprintf is needed, and we can find non-ugly ways
to do this without massive #ifdefs all over the code.
