efibootmgr 0.5.2.2 for testing

[Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>]

I've put out a test version of efibootmgr, I'd appreciate people with
the capabilities to test this and report back.  I'm hoping this fixes
the cases reported where a 32-bit efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel wasn't
working correctly, but I don't have such equipment to test myself.  If
it's all good, I'll release it as 0.5.3.

Rogerio, I gave -@ a long option --append-binary-args, rather than
--@, to be consistent with the other long options.

Thanks to Brad Chen and Ping Wei from Intel for their debugging and patch
suggestions.

- applied patch from Rogerio Timmers which adds a new option -@ <file>,
  which takes extra variable parameters from <file>, or - from stdin.
  This lets you pass binary (non-unicode, non-ascii) formatted options to
  your bootloader.
- cleaned up Rogerio's patch some.
- moved definition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITSd into Makefile and out of the
  individual .c files.  This fixes a bug reported by Red Flag, where
  variable data was getting incorrectly set with a 32-bit copy of
  efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel.
- made efi_variable_t.DataSize be an unsigned long to match the kernel.
  This lets a 32-bit copy of efibootmgr run on a 32-bit kernel.  This
  means you've got to have a 32-bit efibootmgr on a 32-bit kernel, and a
  64-bit efibootmgr on a 64-bit kernel, but since efi_status_t is also a
  long, this was really going to be the case anyway.
- valgrind caught the app exiting without freeing some malloc'd
  structures, fix that.
- v0.5.2.2 released for testing
