Add a man page for gptboot.efi. Describe when and how to use this as it differs
from the BIOS cases. Include cross reference for the preferred method described
in efibootmgr(8) as well as cross links in both gptboot(8) and gptboot.efi(8) to
the other.
This man page was heavily copied from the gptboot.8 man page by Warren Block.
They are different enough to need separate man pages for clarity, but there's
enough similarity that I worry about the duplication. In the really long term,
gptboot(8) will disappear, so having the same info here will help when that
day comes. In the short to medium term, the information is likely to not
change in gptboot(8) and any changes to gptboot.efi(8) will be easier to
make in a separate copy.
loader.efi(8) needs a complete rewrite from scratch, otherwise I'd have
referenced gptboot.efi(8) from there.

This would allow interested parties to do experimental runs with an
environment set appropriately to raise all the warnings throughout the
build; e.g. env WARNS=6 NO_WERROR=yes buildworld.
Not currently touching the numerous instances in ^/tools.

The u-boot EFI implementation of the ReadBlocks and WriteBlocks methods
requires that the provided buffer meet the IO alignment requirements of
the underlying disk. Unlike loader.efi, gptboot.efi doesn't check this
requirement, and therefore fails to perform a successful read. Adjust
secbuf's alignment to 4K in hopes that we will always meet this
requirement.

we have crc32(const void *, size_t) in libsa. Unfortunately zlib has
crc32(long, const unigned char *, unsigned) and we have conflict.
Since we do build libsa with zlib, we can use zlib version instead.

The HandleProtocol() is deprecated interface and we should use OpenProtocol()
instead. Moreover, in some firmware implementation(s), the HandleProtocol()
does return device path using static storage, so we can not keep the value
returned there. With same firmware, the OpenProtocol() does return data we
do not need to clone.

This is a primary boot loader that is intended to implement the
gptboot partition selection algorithm just like we did for BIOS
booting. While the preferred method for UEFI is to use the UEFI Boot
Manager protocol, there are situations where that can't be done: some
BIOS makers interfere with the protocol in unhelpful ways, there's a
new standard for a zero variable write from the client OS, and finally
for USB drives that might be mobile between systems with multiple
partitions there needs to be a media stable way to select.
