Bug#922251: live-build: support syslinux-efi as (additional) bootloader

Hm, that's another interesting thought. I was aiming for syslinux, since
our current setup uses that (along with some custom configuration).
However, that seems to be impossible to work with secure boot (which
would be nice to have) and impossible to boot from optical media (which
for my personal case is not an issue).

I could imagine switching to grub completely (which means that this
issue changes from "add syslinux-efi" to "make grub-pc & grub-efi work
for hdd images"), though that's probably a bit more work for me and my
client.  I'll dig in a bit deeper to see how much work that would be.

Thanks for everyone's input so far!

Gr.

Matthijs
