This patch was originally posted as a single one, but then was
merged in my "run -e." Now I would like to post it on its own.
With this patch, EFI Boot Manager will handles BootNext and BootCurrent
variable as UEFI specification describes.
Changes in v2 (Mar 5, 2019)
* extract this patch from my "run -e" patch set
* use efi_[get|set]_variable instead of 'rs->*'
* add EFI_CALL
* cosmetic changes

No. "BootNext" is always a 16-bit integer, and "bootnext" is a u16 variable, not a pointer. So we don't need to call get_variable() twice. That is why I didn't use get_var() here.

Deleting "BootNex" is required by UEFI spec. In addition, if we fail to delete it, we will see the same application start again when executing boot manager next time.

Once we have a non-volatile backend for variables the call may fail because the the NV storage is not writable. Another case leading to an error would be the variable having been created with EFI_VARIABLE_TIME_BASED_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS (which we do not yet support). Should this stop the boot process? If yes, we need at least an error message. But I would propose that if the NV storage is not writable we continue booting after writing a debug message.

Here we see EFI_SUCCESS only if the size of variable is 1 or 2. In case of size of 1, it's not in correct format, but I think that it's safe and acceptable. So basically I don't think that we need check the size.

Since we have no idea how we will manage "non-volatile" variables in UEFI U-Boot, it is still early to discuss any behavior based on not-agreed assumptions. For example, if NV storage is not writable, we will probably not be able to define BootNext variable. > Should this stop the boot process? If yes, we need at least an error > message.
