efi: new 'eficonnect' command

When efi.quickboot is enabled on VMWare (which is the default for
hardware release 16 and later), it may happen that not all EFI devices
are connected. Due to this, browsing the devices in make_devices() just
fails to find devices, in particular disks or partitions for a given
disk.
This typically happens when network booting, then trying to chainload to
local disk (this is used in deployment tools such as Red Hat Satellite),
which is done through using the following grub.cfg snippet:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
unset prefix
search --file --set=prefix /EFI/redhat/grubx64.efi
if [ -n "$prefix" ]; then
  chainloader ($prefix)/EFI/redhat/grubx64/efi
...
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

With efi.quickboot, none of the devices are connected, causing "search"
to fail. Sometimes devices are connected but not the partition of the
disk matching $prefix, causing partition to not be found by
"chainloader".

This patch introduces a new "eficonnect pciroot|scsi|all" command whic
recursively connects all EFI devices starting from a given controller
type:
- if 'pciroot' is specified, recursion is performed for all PCI root
  handles
- if 'scsi' is specified, recursion is performed for all SCSI I/O
  handles (recommended usage to avoid connecting unwanted handles which
  may impact Grub performances)
- if 'all' is specified, recursion is performed on all handles (not
  recommended since it may heavily impact Grub performances)

Typical grub.cfg snippet would then be:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
eficonnect scsi
unset prefix
search --file --set=prefix /EFI/redhat/grubx64.efi
if [ -n "$prefix" ]; then
  chainloader ($prefix)/EFI/redhat/grubx64/efi
...
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

The code is easily extensible to handle other arguments in the future if
needed.
