Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Key revocation on out of bound file access

After successful disk unlocking, grub now takes on the responsibility of
safeguarding passwords or TPM keys exclusively within authenticated
cryptodisk files. Any attempt to access boot-related files outside this
trust realm triggers immediate key revocation, preventing potential
compromise by out of bound access.

This patch strengthens security measures by restricting grub's access to
system boot files, except for essential internal processes like memdisk
and procfs, ensuring key protection against potential breaches due to
inadvertent customizations in grub.cfg.
