Add EFI variable support, mapping to u-boot environment variables.
Variables are pretty important for setting up boot order, among other
things. If the board supports saveenv, then it will be called in
ExitBootServices() to persist variables set by the efi payload. (For
example, fallback.efi configuring BootOrder and BootXXXX load-option
variables.)
Variables are *not* currently exposed at runtime, post ExitBootServices.
On boards without a dedicated device for storage, which the loaded OS
is not trying to also use, this is rather tricky. One idea, at least
for boards that can persist RAM across reboot, is to keep a "journal"
of modified variables in RAM, and then turn halt into a reboot into
u-boot, plus store variables, plus halt. Whatever the solution, it
likely involves some per-board support.
Mapping between EFI variables and u-boot variables:
efi_$guid_$varname = {attributes}(type)value
For example:
efi_8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c_OsIndicationsSupported=
"{ro,boot,run}(blob)0000000000000000"
efi_8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c_BootOrder=
"(blob)00010000"
The attributes are a comma separated list of these possible
attributes:
+ ro - read-only
+ boot - boot-services access
+ run - runtime access
NOTE: with current implementation, no variables are available after
ExitBootServices, and all are persisted (if possible).
If not specified, the attributes default to "{boot}".
The required type is one of:
+ utf8 - raw utf8 string
+ blob - arbitrary length hex string

At present we use a CONFIG option in efi.h to determine whether we are
building the EFI stub or not. This means that the same header cannot be
used for EFI_LOADER support. The CONFIG option will be enabled for the
whole build, even when not building the stub.
Use a different define instead, set up just for the files that make up the
stub.

There are lots of warnings when building EFI 64-bit payload.

In fact, U-Boot itself as EFI payload is running in 32-bit mode.
So BITS_PER_LONG needs to still be 32, but EFI status codes are
64-bit when booting from 64-bit EFI. Introduce EFI_BITS_PER_LONG
to bridge those status codes with U-Boot's BITS_PER_LONG.

The EFI API header is great, but missing a good chunk of function prototype,
GUID defines and enum declarations.
This patch extends it to cover more of the EFI API. It's still not 100%
complete, but sufficient enough for our EFI payload interface.

Most EFI implementations use 64-bit. Add a way to build U-Boot as a 64-bit
EFI payload. The payload unpacks a (32-bit) U-Boot and starts it. This can
be enabled for x86 boards at present.

It is useful to be able to load U-Boot onto a board even if is it already
running EFI. This can allow access to the U-Boot command interface, flexible
booting options and easier development.
The easiest way to do this is to build U-Boot as a binary blob and have an
EFI stub copy it into RAM. Add support for this feature, targeting 32-bit
initially.
Also add a way to detect when U-Boot has been loaded via a stub. This goes
in common.h since it needs to be widely available so that we avoid redoing
initialisation that should be skipped.

When running as an EFI application, U-Boot must request memory from EFI,
and provide access to the boot services U-Boot needs.
Add library code to perform these tasks. This includes efi_main() which is
the entry point from EFI. U-Boot is built as a shared library.
