Following kernel's proposal for an arch-agnostic initrd loading
mechanism [1] let's implement the U-boot counterpart.
This new approach has a number of advantages compared to what we did up
to now. The file is loaded into memory only when requested limiting the
area of TOCTOU attacks. Users will be allowed to place the initramfs
file on any u-boot accessible partition instead of just the ESP one.
Finally this is an attempt of a generic interface across architectures
in the linux kernel so it makes sense to support that.
The file location is intentionally only supported as a config option
argument(CONFIG_EFI_INITRD_FILESPEC), in an effort to enhance security.
Although U-boot is not responsible for verifying the integrity of the
initramfs, we can enhance the offered security by only accepting a
built-in option, which will be naturally verified by UEFI Secure Boot.
This can easily change in the future if needed and configure that via ENV
or UEFI variable.

UEFI spec 2.8 errata A replaces the RuntimeServicesSupported variable
defined in UEFI spec 2.8 by the configuration table
EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE. So let's follow suit.

This variable is defined in UEFI specification 2.8, section 8.1.
Its value should be updated whenever we add any usable runtime services
function.
Currently we only support SetVirtualAddress() for all systems and
ResetSystem() for some.

allow_unaligned(), switch_to_non_secure_mode(), and efi_init_obj_list() are
called in sequence in multiple places.
Move calls to allow_unaligned() and switch_to_non_secure_mode() to
efi_init_obj_list().
Remove unused includes.

UEFI variables should be installed using well-defined API.
Currently we don't support much, but the value of OsIndicationsSupported
will be updated once some features are added in the future.

The UEFI variables PlatformLang and PlatformLangCodes specify the current
firmware language and the list of all available languages.
Currently their values are hard coded. With the patch a new configuration
variable EFI_PLATFORM_LANG_CODES is provided.
When initializing the UEFI subsystem this configuration variable is used to
initialize PlatformLangCodes. The value of variable PlatformLang is read.
If it is not set, the first language specified in EFI_PLATFORM_LANG_CODES
is used to initialize PlatformLang.

The first functions of the UEFI sub-system are invoked before reaching the
U-Boot shell, e.g. efi_set_bootdev(), efi_dp_from_name(),
efi_dp_from_file(). We should be able to print out device paths for
debugging purposes here.
When printing device paths via printf("%pD\n", dp) this invokes functions
defined as EFIAPI. So efi_save_gd() must be called beforehand.
So let's move the efi_save_gd() call to function initr_reloc_global_data(()
in board_r.c.

Since TianoCore EDK2 commit d65f2cea36d1 ("ShellPkg/CommandLib: Locate
proper UnicodeCollation instance") in edk2 the UEFI Shell crashes if EFI
variable PlatformLang is not defined.
As this variable is anyway prescribed in the UEFI 2.7 spec let's define it
to L"en-US". Use the same value for PlatformLangCodes that defines the list
of all supported languages.

The function, efi_init_obj_list(), can be shared in different pseudo efi
applications, like bootefi/bootmgr as well as my efishell. Moreover, it
will be utilized to extend efi initialization, for example, my "removable
disk support" patch and "capsule-on-disk support" patch in the future.
So with this patch, it will be moved to a new file, efi_setup.c, under
lib/efi_loader and exported, making no changes in functionality.
