Some UEFI implementations never care the boot options, so the
restored boot options could be just ignored and this results in
endless reboot. To avoid this situation, this commit makes
fallback.efi to load the first matched boot option even if there
is no boot option to be restored. It may not be perfect, but at
least the bootloader is loaded...

set_boot_order() already copies the old BootOrder to the variable,
bootorder. Besides, we can adjust BootOrder when adding the newly
generated boot option. So, we don't have to copy the old one again
in update_boot_order(). This avoid the duplicate entries in BootOrder.

This adds additional bounds-checking on the section sizes. Also adds
-Wsign-compare to the Makefile and replaces some signed variables with
unsigned counteparts for robustness.

Some firmwares seem to ignore our boot entries and put their fallback
entries back on top. Right now that results in a lot of boot entries
for our stuff, a la https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995834 .
Instead of that happening, if we simply find existing entries that match
the entry we would create and move them to the top of the boot order,
the machine will continue to operate in failure mode (which we can't
avoid), but at least we won't create thousands of extra entries.

UEFI 2.x section 3.1.2 provides for "short-form device path", where the
first element specified is a "hard drive media device path", so that you
can move a disk around on different buses without invalidating your
device path. Fallback has not been using this option, though in most
cases efibootmgr has.
Note that we still keep the full device path, because LoadImage()
isn't necessarily the layer where HD() works - one some systems BDS is
responsible for resolving the full path and passes that to LoadImage()
instead. So we have to do LoadImage() with the full path.
The things we do for our tools. In this case, make the AllocatePool()
happen outside of a conditional, even though that conditional will
always bee satisfied. This way coverity won't think we're setting fi
to NULL and passing it to StrCaseCmp.

I'm told rebooting is sometimes unreliable when called here, and we'll
get bootx64.efi loaded anyway. I'll just assume that's true and try to
load the first option, since it's clearly what we'd prefer happens next.

If shim is invoked as \EFI\BOOT\BOOT*.EFI and a file exists named
\EFI\BOOT\FALLBACK.EFI, try it instead of our second stage. So don't
put fallback.efi on your install media in \EFI\BOOT, because that won't
do whatever it is you're hoping for, unless you're hoping not to start
the installer.
So here's the process for using this:
in /EFI/fedora/ (or whichever directory you happen to own), you put:
shim.efi
grub.efi
boot.csv - format is: shim.efi,Nice Label,cmdline arguments,comments
- filenames refer only to files in this directory, with no
leading characters such as L"./" or L"/EFI/fedora/"
- note that while this is CSV, the character encoding is
UCS-2
and if /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI doesn't already exist, then in /EFI/BOOT:
shim.efi as BOOTX64.EFI
fallback.efi
