96a8d409a7 efi: Add 64-bit payload support
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.

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.
