commit f94835a917cf78675eb597fecd222b6c6d1fb1ae
Author: Mathieu Othacehe <othacehe@gnu.org>

    file-system: Add efivarfs support.
    
    Tools such as efibootmgr rely on the deprecated /sys/firmware/efi/vars API 
as
    well as on the new /sys/firmware/efi/efivars API. The latter needs to be
    mounted.
    
    Reported by Keyhenge here:
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2020-04/msg00274.html
    
    Here is the efivarfs documentation:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/efivarfs.txt.
    
    * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (%efivars-file-system): New exported variable,
    (%base-file-systems): add it.
    * gnu/system/install.scm (%efivars-file-system): Add it.
