[PATCH 2/8] x86: don't build with EFI support in shim-exclusive mode



There's no need for xen.efi at all, and there's also no need for EFI
support in xen.gz since the shim runs in PVH mode, i.e. without any
firmware (and hence by implication also without EFI one).

The slightly odd looking use of $(space) is to ensure the new ifneq()
evaluates consistently between "build" and "install" invocations of
make.

There are further anomalies associated with the need to use $(space)
here:
- xen.efi rebuilding gets suppressed when installing (typically as
  root) from a non-root-owned tree. I think we should similarly suppress
  re-building of xen.gz as well in this case, as tool chains available
  may vary (and hence a partial or full re-build may mistakenly occur).
- xen.lds (re-)generation has a dependency issue: The value of
  XEN_BUILD_EFI changing between builds (like would happen on a pre-
  built tree with a shim-exclusive config, on which then this patch
  would be applied) does not cause it to be re-built. Anthony's
  switching to Linux'es build system will address this afaict, so I
  didn't see a need to supply a separate patch.
