installer/cd-dvd/iso-image: avoid leaking build timestamps

When 'grafting' '/nix/store/<hash>-loopback.cfg' from disk onto
'/boot/grub/loopback.cfg' on the iso, the parent 'grub' directory does not
exist yet. In this case it is automatically created and inherits its
attributes, including timestamp, from /nix/store.

This is correct/expected/intentional behavior of xorriso, but has the
undesired result of leaking the timestamps of /nix/store into the iso. For
this reason we put the loopback.cfg in a
'/nix/store/<hash>-loopback.cfg/grub/loopback.cfg' instead, so it will inherit
the attributes from the correctly-timestamped
'/nix/store/<hash>-loopback.cfg/grub' directory.

For the same reason we move '/EFI/boot/efi-background.png' down in the list
so it is grafted after its parent '/EFI/boot' directory is created with
the correct timestamp.
