[efi] Restructure EFI driver model

Provide a single instance of EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL (attached to
our image handle); this matches the expectations scattered throughout
the EFI specification.

Open the underlying hardware device using EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER
and EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_EXCLUSIVE, to prevent other drivers from
attaching to the same device.

Do not automatically connect to devices when being loaded as a driver;
leave this task to the platform firmware (or to the user, if loading
directly from the EFI shell).

When running as an application, forcibly disconnect any existing
drivers from devices that we want to control, and reconnect them on
exit.

Provide a meaningful driver version number (based on the build
timestamp), to allow platform firmware to automatically load newer
versions of iPXE drivers if multiple drivers are present.

Include device paths within debug messages where possible, to aid in
debugging.
