UEFI:

* Add MBR support to EFI_PARTITION_INFO_PROTOCOL
   * disk: part_dos: Move header to the main include directory
   * disk: part_dos: Align dos_partition_t with struct partition
   * disk: part_efi: Remove redundant struct partition definition
   * disk: part_dos: Document part_get_info_extended() helper function
   * disk: part_dos: Refactor to allow retrieving raw MBR partition data
   * efi_loader: disk: Extend EFI_PARTITION_INFO_PROTOCOL to support MBR
   * efi_selftest: Enhance MBR test for PARTITION_INFO_PROTOCOL

* Prepare for supporting more stores (e.g. SPI-flash) for EFI variables.
   * efi_var: Unify read/write access helper function
   * efi_loader: Setup default location for UEFI Variables storing
   * efi_var_file: refactor to move buffer functions
