f4d227c99f x86: Create a 32/64-bit selection for the app
Most EFI implementations use 64-bit but U-Boot only supports running as
a 32-bit app at present. While efi-x86_payload64 does boot from 64-bit
UEFI it immediately changes back to 32-bit before starting U-Boot.

In order to support a 64-bit U-Boot app, update the Kconfig to add an
option for 32/64 bit. Update the prompt for the existing option so it is
clear it relates to the stub. Move both up to just under the choice that
controls them, since this looks better and the menu.

Use CONFIG_EFI_APP in the Makefile instead of CONFIG_TARGET_EFI_APP,
since the latter is specific to a single target and we will have two.

Memory size is set to 32MB for now so that it can run on qemu without
increasing the default memory size. We may need to increase the default
later.

77dd7c6854 x86: timer: use a timer base of 0
On x86 platforms the timer is reset to 0 when the SoC is reset. Having
this as the timer base is useful since it provides an indication of how
long it takes before U-Boot is running.

When U-Boot sets the timer base to something else, time is lost and we
no-longer have an accurate account of the time since reset. This
particularly affects bootstage.

Change the default to not read the timer base, leaving it at 0. Add an
option for when U-Boot is the secondary bootloader.

476476e73b efi: Add support for loading U-Boot through an EFI stub
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.

867a6ac86d efi: Add start-up library code
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.
