e08bb1091c Implenent --fromfile to read variable values when printing variables
So

./efivar --fromfile Boot0001.bin --print --load-option

will take the value from Boot0001.bin file and then decode it as if it
were a load-option. This is useful for debugging handling of such
variables that may be hanging the boot for some people.

b0da7c79f1 Add UCS2->UTF8 option.
Many UEFI variables are UCS2 strings (some NUL terminated, others
not). Add --utf8 (-u) to convert UCS2 strings to UTF8 before printing.

2f2f5c6728 Finish implementing -d/--device/--device-path flag to print variable
as if it were a device path.

Remove language about a=b syntax on the command line. This will not be
implemented due to its limited usefulness. UEFI variables are binary
blobs, on the whole, and a simple work around exists for
strings. Clarify that the new value of the variable is taken from
stdin. Update manual with history.

9013a3a0de 'b' is short for --binary, it isn't 'a'.

b2a7ac4802 Fix building on i386 and arm. But 'public domain' headers on the files
with no creative content. Include "lost" changes from git:
o Use /dev/efi instead of /dev/efidev
o Remove redundant NULL checks.

4b844f8d99 Add efivar(1) to manipulate EFI variables. It uses a similar command
line interface to the Linux program, as well as adding a number of
useful features to make using it in shell scripts easier (since we
don't have a filesystem to fall back on interacting with).
