[PATCH v4 3/3] Load option with short device path for boot vars

The boot variables automatically generated for removable medias
should be with short form of device path without device nodes.
This is a requirement for the case that a removable media is
plugged into a different port but is still able to work with the
existing boot variables.

Changes in v2
- Ignore EFI_NOT_FOUND returned from
  efi_bootmgr_update_media_device_boot_option which means no boot
  options scanned.
Changes in v3
- Split the patch into moving and renaming functions and
  individual patches for each changed functionality
Changes in v4
- Revert the change of introducing a bool parameter when updating
  the boot option. Use short-form of device path by default
