This reverts commit a8ec81e79871de98e30ce572a313f3f8d059ce7b
Revert D27782. imp@ pointed out that bsdinstall has been updated, and gpart
bootcode isn't used with EFI.
Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.

- EFI support appeared in 5.0 for ia64
- arm64 UEFI support added in 11.0
The AUTHORS section included the folks responsible for the bulk of the
work to bring UEFI support to amd64, but missed those who did the
original work on ia64, the initial port to i386, the ports to arm64 and
arm, and have generally maintained and improved general UEFI support
since then. It's unwieldly to include everyone and would quickly become
outdated again anyhow, so just remove the AUTHORS section.

it was loaded from.
