This patch set is motivated by the discussion[1] regarding
CONFIG_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR option.

At the end, bootefi.c will be decomposed into two parts, one for
providing the command itself and one for implementing helper functions.
EFI_LOADER will now be available without CONFIG_CMDLINE or specifically
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI if invoked via bootmeth/bootstd.

Then, EFI_LOADER library side will be further split into two options
for fine-grain control:
CONFIG_EFI_BINARY_EXEC: execute UEFI binaries which are to be explicitly
    loaded by U-Boot's load commands/functions or other methods
    (like a jtag debugger?)
    It supports bootmeth_efi as well as "bootefi <addr>|hello"(/"bootm"?).

CONFIG_EFI_BOOTMGR: provide EFI boot manger functionality
    It supports bootmeth_efi_mgr as well as "bootefi bootmgr".

As such, We will no longer need CONFIG_EFI_BINARY_EXEC if we want to only
make use of the UEFI boot manger for booting a next stage OS.

Prerequisite
============
This patch set is based on top of Tom's "next" branch.

Patches
=======
Patch#1-#12: I hope that those commits show step-by-step refactoring
    without introducing degradation.

Tests
=====
* run UT efi_selftest on sandbox locally
* run test_efi_bootmgr on sandbox locally

Unfortunately, I could not submit a pull request for CI test.

Changes
=======
v2 (Nov 21, 2023)
* rebased onto Tom's next branch
* remove already merged commits
* revise commit messages
* add patch #5 which was split from ex-patch#5
RFC (Oct 26, 2023)

Any other comments?
I think the changes are no doubt trivial.

I had other patches down the queue, I'll have a look within the week!
