Avoid the efivars layer and simply call the newly introduced EFI
varstore helpers instead. This simplifies the code substantially, and
also allows us to remove some hacks in the shared efivars layer that
were added for efi-pstore specifically.

In order to be able to delete the EFI variable associated with a record,
store the UTF-16 name of the variable in the pstore record's priv field.
That way, we don't have to make guesses regarding which variable the
record may have been loaded from.
