[desktop] Drop etc/default/grub.d/50_kubuntu.cfg which contained a
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR override to turn from Ubuntu into Kubuntu. This issue
has caused a substantial amount of UEFI/SecureBoot issues, and once again
is causing Kubuntu to not correctly install on such systems.
The primary difference is that grub-install will base various attributes
of the UEFI boot entry on the information set in the variable. However for
signed UEFI loaders to work it must be locked to the signing name
(i.e. ubuntu). Instead of continuing to patch compatibility mapping from
kubuntu to ubuntu every once in a while and having broken UEFI in the
meantime, we are now stopping to set this variable. While this slightly
degrades branding (i.e. grub entries will show Ubuntu rather than Kubuntu)
it is in everyone's best interest to not keep screwing up installation for
no good reason.
