efi_loader: Add OS notifications for SetVariable at runtime
Previous patches enable SetVariable at runtime using a volatile storage
backend using EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA allocared memory. Since there's
no recommendation from the spec on how to notify the OS, add a volatile
EFI variable that contains the filename relative to the ESP. OS'es
can use that file and update it at runtime
