The system administrators guide recommends overwriting the EFI grub.cfg shim installed by grub2-common. This will also leave essentially duplicate information in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg with the former being ignored by the system.

Correct these docs so that the shim is not overwritten (and explain how to restore it if previously broken via out-of-date docs), and grub2 configuration on end-user systems is always consistently in one place: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.

Also fixed some issues with list numbering not being continuous.

Theoretically these changes should be back-ported to the docs for Fedora 34, 35, and 36 as well.
