Michael Brown 4a480f1d15 [efi] Avoid unnecessarily passing pointers to EFI_HANDLEs
efi_file_install() and efi_download_install() are both used to install
onto existing handles.  There is therefore no need to allow for each
of their calls to InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces() to create a new
handle.

By passing the handle directly (rather than a pointer to the handle),
we avoid potential confusion (and erroneous debug message colours).

Michael Brown fc87adb46c [efi] Expose downloaded images via EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL
Expose iPXE's images as a UEFI file system, allowing the booted image
to access all images downloaded by iPXE.

This functionality is complementary to the custom iPXE download
protocol.  The iPXE download protocol allows a booted image to utilise
iPXE to download arbitrary URIs, but requires the booted image to
specifically support the custom iPXE download protocol.  The new
functionality limits the booted image to accessing only files that
were already downloaded by iPXE (e.g. as part of a script), but can
work with any generic UEFI image (e.g. the UEFI shell).  Both
protocols are provided simultaneously, and are attached to the SNP
device handle.
