Add --efi-boot-option-description argument to bootctl to control the name of the boot

entry.

By default an entry named "Linux Boot Manager" is created (which is the
previous behavior). With the flag the name of the entry can be
controlled, which is useful when installing systemd-boot to multiple ESP
partitions and having uniquely named entries.

Fixes #17044.

<para>Using the default entry name <literal>Linux Boot Manager</literal> is generally preferable as only
one bootloader installed to a single ESP partition should be used to boot any number of OS installations
found on the various disks installed in the system. Specifically distributions should not use this flag
to install a branded entry in the boot option list. However in situations with multiple disks, each with
their own ESP partition, it can be beneficial to make it easier to identify the bootloader being used in
the firmware's boot option menu.</para></listitem>
