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.

Fix allocating more memory for the names (unlikely to be needed, but
still best to get right) to ask for the length the kernel told use we
needed, not the old length of the variable. Mind the proper NUL that
we add in the space we allocate. Free the old name string before we
allcoate a new one to limit what we leak to the last one (free passed
in name for the last one in the list), and detect the last one by rv
!= 0 and errno == ENOENT, rather then just the former to avoid false
positives if errno happens to be ENOENT on entry.

o Use /dev/efi instead of /dev/efidev
o Remove redundant NULL checks.

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.
