[RFC 11/14] efi_loader: variable: export variables table for runtime access

There are platforms on which OS's won't be able to access UEFI variables
at runtime (i.e. after ExitBootServices).
With this patch, all the UEFI variables are exported as a configuration
table so as to enable retrieving variables' values from the table, and
later modifying them via capsule-on-disk if necessary.
The idea is based on Peter's proposal[1] in boot-arch ML.
