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



Hi Luca & others,

I've been working on syslinux-efi support in the past weeks and just
submitted a MR with a working implementation, along with some small
bootloader-related cleanups and refactors:

	https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/merge_requests/19

In the end, I opted to implement syslinux-efi rather than make grub-efi
work on hdd images, since that seemed easier and allows preserving the
existing bootloader config files in our project. Getting grub-efi to
work on hdd images might still be an interesting project that could be
implemented alongside syslinux-efi support, though I do not have any
specific purpose for it as of yet.

As predicted by others in this bug report, my work does not enable
secure boot (which syslinux simply does not support), nor enable
syslinux-efi support in iso/isohybrid images (since syslinux-efi does
not support this, or at least it apparently does not work).

Gr.

Matthijs
