Michael Brown 18d2162f64 [efi] Work around UEFI specification bug in LoadImage 
iPXE currently assumes that any error returned from LoadImage()
indicates that the image was not loaded.  This assumption was correct
at the time the code was written and remained correct for UEFI
specifications up to and including version 2.1.

In version 2.3, the UEFI specification broke API and ABI compatibility
by defining that a return value of EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION would now
indicate that the image had been loaded and a valid image handle had
been created, but that the image should not be started.

The wording in version 2.2 is ambiguous, and does not define whether
or not a return value of EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION indicates that a valid
image handle has been created.

Attempt to work around all of these incompatible and partially
undefined APIs by calling UnloadImage if we get a return value of
EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION.  Minimise the risk of passing an uninitialised
pointer to UnloadImage by setting ImageHandle to NULL prior to calling
LoadImage.
