efi: Introduce EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_HEADER and corresponding structures

Platform Firmware Runtime Update image starts with UEFI headers, and the
headers are defined in UEFI specification, but some of them have not been
defined in the kernel yet.

For example, the header layout of a capsule file looks like this:

EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER
EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_HEADER
EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_IMAGE_HEADER
EFI_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_AUTHENTICATION

These structures would be used by the Platform Firmware Runtime Update
driver to parse the format of capsule file to verify if the corresponding
version number is valid. In this way, if the user provides an invalid
capsule image, the kernel could be used as a guard to reject it, without
switching to the Management Mode (which might be costly).

EFI_CAPSULE_HEADER has been defined in the kernel, but the other
structures have not been defined yet, so do that. Besides,
EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_HEADER and
EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_IMAGE_HEADER are required to be packed
in the uefi specification. For this reason, use the __packed attribute
to indicate to the compiler that the entire structure can appear
misaligned in memory (as suggested by Ard) in case one of them follows
the other directly in a capsule header.
