Use recent best practices for Copyright form at the top of
the license:
1. Remove all the All Rights Reserved clauses on our stuff. Where we
piggybacked others, use a separate line to make things clear.
2. Use "Netflix, Inc." everywhere.
3. Use a single line for the copyright for grep friendliness.
4. Use date ranges in all places for our stuff.

We started out having Linux compatible libefivar interfaces. This was
in anticipation of porting the GPL'd efibootmgr to FreeBSD via a
port. However, since we need that functionality in the base, that port
isn't going to happened. It also appears that efivar is a private
library that's not used much outside a command line util and
efibootmgr. Reduce compatibility with the Linux version a little by
removing the mode parameter to efi_set_variable (which was unused on
FreeBSD, and not set to something useful in the code we'd
written). Also remove some efi error routines that were never
implemented and existed only to placate early GPL efibootmgr porting
experiments.

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.
