If cnt == 0 we access element 0 unconditionally, which is out of bounds,
and then if that doesn't crash and happens to be 0 we will access
element - 1, also out of bounds, and then if that doesn't crash will add
1 to whatever junk is there and use that for the variable. On CHERI,
though, this does crash. This code is also overly complicated, with
unnecessary special cases and tracking more state than needed.
Rewrite it in a more general manner that doesn't need those special
cases and naturally works for cnt == 0.

I observed the problem on a system with fairly old and, apparently,
buggy EFI implementation. A list of boot devices had an invalid
trailing entry. efidp_size() for that entry returned zero, which means
that the code got stuck looping on that entry.
Report the entire path to the device, rather than the the bit after /dev/
for the --esp command. Nothing in the tree depends on the output
format: Only bsdinstall's bootconfig script calls efibootmgr, and it
doesn't use the --esp/-E flag.

-e env will include `env` in the boot loader. Document that the boot
loader appends the `env` to the BootXXXX variable, and will parse it as
a series of a=b values to set in the boot loader's environment. These
assignments are separated by spaces. The env arg needs to be quoted if
more than one env var is to be set (we parse only the next argument on
the command line).

-C isn't implemented, so just errx out until it is. It's not listed in
the man page, but is parsed for compatibility with the Linux
efibootmgr(8) command.

The removal of the sparc64 support in February 2020 obsoleted the
VTOC8 partitioning scheme as no other FreeBSD platform makes use
of it. Moreover, the code is bitrotting as nothing defines e. g.
LOADER_VTOC8_SUPPORT any more and, thus, should go now, too. With
this change, the following commits are reverted as far as VTOC8
is concerned and parts haven't already previously been deleted
along with prior sparc64 removals:
094fcb157da7d366e958ba8d50d08b
The alignment example d9711c28ef
added to the VTOC8 section of gpart.8 is folded into the MBR one.
This should finally conclude the deorbit of sparc64-specific bits.

"efibootmgr --efidev unix-path" will return the UEFI device-path to the

may also be useful for scripting.

Move the check for efi variables being supported to after parsing the args. This
allows '-h' to produce both as a normal user as well as on all systems.
efivar_device_path_to_unix_path() returns standard error codes on
failure and zero on success. Checking for a return value less than zero
means that the actual failure cases won't be handled. This could
manifest as a segfault during the subsequent call to printf().

Add code to decode the BootCurrent and BootXXXX variable it points at
to deduce the ESP used to boot the system. By default, it prints the
path to that device. With --unix-path (-p) it will instead print the
current mount point for the ESP, if any (or an error). With
--device-path (-d) it wil print the UEFI device path for the ESP.
Note: This is the best guess based on the UEFI variables. If the ESP
is part of a gmirror, etc, that won't be reported. If by some weird
chance there was a complicated series of chain boots, this may not be
what you want. For setups that don't add layers on top of the raw
devices, it is accurate.
