It is possible to boot directly a UKI from shim, and Fedora Cloud Base UKI
does exactly this.
This used to work fine until https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/37372
which broke compatibility when shim < 16.0 (no loader protocol override) is
used. Shim 15.8 is still in use in several distributions, and will be for
a long time.
Restore a part of the previous implementation, and if running with secure
boot enabled, and with shim but < 16.0, apply a security override.
