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. fixes #74944
