[PATCH v7 2/2] efi_loader: Improve disk image detection in efi_bootmgr

Enhances the process for identifying disk images within the EFI boot
manager. Utilize part_driver_lookup_type() to verify the validity of a
downloaded file as a disk image, rather than depending on file
extensions.
part_driver_lookup_type() is now used in the prepare_loaded_image()
function in the EFI boot manager to detect partitions on a block device
created from a downloaded image. This allows the boot manager to boot
from any disk image that can be recognized by a partition driver, not
just ISO and IMG images.
Update prepare_loaded_image() to create the ramdisk block device
internally, obtain the blk_desc and use part_driver_lookup_type() to
detect a valid partition table.
In try_load_from_uri_path(), try prepare_loaded_image() first to detect
disk images, and fall back to PE-COFF detection only if that fails.
