[PATCH v3 11/11] image_types_wic.bbclass: depend on grub-efi and systemd-boot on aarch64, systemd-boot on arm

On x86 family builds, grub and systemd-boot are always included and thus
get built and deployed before wic image builds. On aarch64 builds
that was not the case. Result is that some builds added systemd-boot binaries
to the wic image ESP partition and some not, though bugs in wic plugins
contributed here too since missing files were silently ignored.
Boot of such images fails since firmware is not able to load the
default EFI binaries.

Adding EFI_PROVIDER to WKS_FILE_DEPENDS_BOOTLOADERS is not possible
because of parsing order so adding grub-efi and systemd-boot
to aarch64 and systemd-boot to arm depends
which makes sure their do_deploy is always executed
before wic image is generated. Thus systemd-boot and grub
binaries will get copied from deploy directory to the wic
image ESP partition, and boot of the images succeeds.
