The final piece needed to add UEFI file system transposition support is to
ensure the boot media can be located regardless of how the boot partition
was instantiated. Especially, we do not want to be reliant on brittle
partition UUIDs, as these only work if a boot media is duplicated at the
block level and not at the file system level.
To accomplish this for EFI boot, we now create a UUID file in a .disk/
directory, that can then be searched for.
Note: The switch from make_image_fwdisk_abs() to make_image_abs() is
needed in order to use the search functionality.

To enable file system transposition support for UEFI, we also must ensure that
there exists a copy of the EFI bootloaders, that are currently embedded in the
efi.img for xorriso, at their expected UEFI location on the ISO 9660 file system.
This is accomplished by removing the use of a temporary directory to create the
efi/ content, to instead place it at the root of the ISO 9660 content.

In order to add file system transposition support for UEFI, i.e. the ability
to copy the content of an grub-mkrescue ISO 9660 image onto user-formatted
media, and have that boot on UEFI systems, the first thing we need to do is
add support for the file systems that are natively handled by UEFI. This
mandatorily includes FAT, but we also include NTFS as the latter is also
commonly supported on modern x64 platforms.
