Fixed incorrect path to the grub-btrfs.cfg file in Grub menu (#79)

Fix #72
The submenu generated by "grub-btrfs" doesn't load in the "GRUB menu."
Sometimes the Grub prefix and root variable don't match.
This ensures that the prefix variable is used to load the grub-btrfs.cfg file.

+This is a version 4.xx of grub-btrfs
+##### BTC donation address: `1Lbvz244WA8xbpHek9W2Y12cakM6rDe5Rt`
 ##
 ### Description
+Improves Grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the Grub menu.
 
-grub-btrfs, Include btrfs snapshots at boot options. (grub menu)
+You can start your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.
+
+Supports manual snapshots, snapper, timeshift ...
+
+##### Warning : it isn't recommended to start on read-only snapshot
 ##
-### What does grub-btrfs v3.xx do :
-
-Simple rollback using snapshots you made previously.
-
+### What does grub-btrfs v4.xx do :
 * Automatically List snapshots existing on root partition (btrfs).
-
 * Automatically Detect if "/boot" is in separate partition.
-
 * Automatically Detect kernel, initramfs and intel microcode in "/boot" directory on snapshots.
-
-* Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in grub.cfg , which ensures a very easy rollback.
-
+* Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in `grub.cfg`
 * Automatically detect snapper and use snapper's snapshot description if available.
+* Automatically generate `grub.cfg` if you use the provided systemd service.
 ##
-### How to customize it:
+### Installation :
+#### Arch Linux
 
-You have the possibility to modify many parameters.
-Add this lines to /etc/default/grub:
+```
+pacman -S grub-btrfs
+```
+
+### Manual
+
+* Run `make install` or look into Makefile for instructions on where to put each file.
+
+NOTE: Generate your Grub menu after installation for the changes to take effect.
+
+On Arch Linux use `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`.
+

 ### Automatically update grub
-
-If you would like grub to automatically update when Snapper timeline snapshots and cleanups occur, simply install `10-update_grub.conf` in the following locations:
-
-- `/etc/systemd/system/snapper-timeline.service.d/`
-- `/etc/systemd/system/snapper-cleanup.service.d/`
-
-Once the configuration files are in place, `systemctl daemon-reload` should be run to reload the units and make the changes active.

-Pour les francophones : https://forums.archlinux.fr/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=17177
+If you would like Grub to automatically update when a snapshots is made or deleted:
+* Mount your subvolume which contains snapshots to `/.snapshots`
+* Use `systemctl start/enable grub-btrfs.path`
+* `grub-btrfs.path` automatically (re)generate `grub.cfg` when a modification appear in `/.snapshots`
