initial EFI support

EFI/UEFI is mostly about partitioning and bootloader setup, at least from a distribution's point of view; so the appropriate tools should be handy and firmware interface module should not be exterminated from installer images but get autoloaded instead. Please note that while there exists 32-bit x86 EFI we don't bother with it at the time being: it's relevant to some irrelevant Xeon systems as well as for the older Intel Macs (<2008) that are long out of fashion anyways. That is, initially we deal with x86_64 EFI only.
