I think the current behaviour of not doing EFI variables when we are run
in a container makes a ton of sense, but in some cases it's useful to
do EFI var setup even when a set of namespaces is set up for us, for
example to recover a hosed installation from a rescue disk.
While we are at it, let's remove some duplicate checks, and
systematically output information why we skip various operations.

Admittedly, some of our glyphs _are_ special, e.g. "O=" for SPECIAL_GLYPH_TOUCH ;)
But we don't need this in the name. The very long names make some invocations
very wordy, e.g. special_glyph(SPECIAL_GLYPH_SLIGHTLY_UNHAPPY_SMILEY).
Also, I want to add GLYPH_SPACE, which is not special at all.
This new field allows specification of an fd on which the password
prompt logic will look for POLLHUP events for, and if seen will abort
the query.
The usecase for this is that when we query for a pw on behalf of a
Varlink client we can abort the query automatically if the client dies.
systemd-boot uses the existance of loader/keys/auto to determine
whether to auto-enroll secure boot or not so only create the directory
if we're actually going to put auto-enroll signature lists in it.
This allows loading the X.509 certificate from an OpenSSL provider
instead of a file system path. This allows loading certficates directly
from hardware tokens instead of having to export them to a file on
disk first.
