We test loading EFI FIT images with test/py/tests/test_efi_fit.py. The 
image we use for testing is lib/efi_loader/helloworld.efi.

The its file used on arm64 has:

    arch = "arm";

This is why booti_setup() was never executed. We should fix this.

Furthermore all EFI binaries that we create in U-Boot have a kernel 
signature in the CRT header so booti_setup() will not fail. This is 
needed to run tools like initrddump.efi with GRUB's linux command.

test_fit.py is skipped on qemu_arm64 but some other test_fit*.py tests 
are executed. This should ensure regression testing.

Best regards

Heinrich
