[PATCH v4] efi_loader: update SetVariable attribute check

UEFI specification v2.10 says that
EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS is deprecated and
EFI_UNSUPPORTED should be returned in SetVariable variable service.
Current implementation returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER,
let's fix the return value.

Together with above change, this commit also updates the SetVariable
attribute check to be aligned with the EDK2 reference implementation.

UEFI specification says "HwErrRecSupport" variable supplies the level
of support for Hardware Error Record Persistence, add check of
this variable for EFI_VARIABLE_HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD attribute.
