Add a note about why we need these extra compiler flags to suppress
warnings. EDK2 upstream code is being used verbatim and as of the last
update these issuse persist, but are benign.

There is no need to set -Wno-unused-parameter twice, and instead of
appending to CFLAGS, append to CWARNFLAGS instead. While here, add
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable for the sake of clang 13.0.0.

At present, only HD() device types are supported (both GPT and
MBR). CdRom and floppy devices aren't supported. ZFS isn't supported
because there's no way in the UEFI standard to specify a ZFS datastore.
Network devices aren't supported either.
Three forms of Unix path are accepted: /path/to/file (for a mounted
filesystem), //path/to/file (uses the EFI partition on the same disk
as /), and dev:/path/to/file (for unmounted filesystem). Two forms are
produced (the first and last).

This commit implements the (mostly?) Linux compatible
efidp_format_device_path and efidp_parse_device_path APIs. These are
the only APIs exposed through this library. However, they are built on
code from Tianocore's EDK2 MdePkg. They are brought in as new files
here for reasons described in FreeBSD-update.
Symbol versioning will be introduced to control what's exported from
the EDK2 code.
Some structural changes may be necessary when we move to sharing with
sys/boot/efi.

the same API as the GPL'd version of this library. It implements the common
Linux API for programatically manipulating UEFI environment varibales using
the UEFI Runtime Services the kernel provides. It replaces the old efi
library since it is programmed to a different interface, but retails the
CHAR16 to UTF-8 and vice versa conversion routines. The new name is to match
Linux program's expectations.
