[PATCH v2 2/4] efi_loader: function to get GUID for variable name

In multiple places we need the default GUID matching a variable name.
The patch provides a library function. For secure boot related variables
like 'PK', 'KEK', 'db' a lookup table is used. For all other variable
names EFI_GLOBAL_VARIABLE is returned.
