[PATCH v9 3/4] Boot var automatic management for removable medias

[Raymond Mao]

Changes for complying to EFI spec §3.5.1.1
'Removable Media Boot Behavior'.
Boot variables can be automatically generated during a removable
media is probed. At the same time, unused boot variables will be
detected and removed.

Please note that currently the function 'efi_disk_remove' has no
ability to distinguish below two scenarios
a) Unplugging of a removable media under U-Boot
b) U-Boot existing and booting an OS
Thus currently the boot variables management is not added into
'efi_disk_remove' to avoid boot options being added/erased
repeatedly under scenario b) during power cycles
See TODO comments under function 'efi_disk_remove' for more details
