[U-Boot] [PATCH] efi_loader: add back optional efi_handler::open()

In some cases it is useful to defer creation of the protocol interface
object.  So add back an optional ->open() hook that is used if
protcol_interface is NULL.

I've slightly simplified the fxn ptr signature to remove unneeded args,
and so compiler will complain if patches that used the "old way" are,
and which do not need this extra complexity, are rebased.
