    pygrub: Fix regression from c/s d1b93ea, attempt 2
    
    c/s d1b93ea causes substantial functional regressions in pygrub's ability to
    parse bootloader configuration files.
    
    c/s d1b93ea itself changed an an interface which previously used exclusively
    integers, to using strings in the case of a grub configuration with explicit
    default set, along with changing the code calling the interface to require a
    string.  The default value for "default" remained as an integer.
    
    As a result, any Extlinux or Lilo configuration (which drives this interface
    exclusively with integers), or Grub configuration which doesn't explicitly
    declare a default will die with an AttributeError when attempting to call
    "self.cf.default.isdigit()" where "default" is an integer.
    
    Sadly, this AttributeError gets swallowed by the blanket ignore in the loop
    which searches partitions for valid bootloader configurations, causing the
    issue to be reported as "Unable to find partition containing kernel"
    
    We should explicitly check type of "default" in image_index() and process it
    appropriately.
