35b9eb0a72 basic/efivars: do not return EIO if an efivar read is shorten than fstat size
On my machine stat returns size 22, but only 20 bytes are read:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTimeInitUSec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=22, ...}) = 0
read(3, "\6\0\0\0", 4)                  = 4
read(3, "7\0001\0001\0003\0005\0002\0007\0\0\0", 18) = 16
Failed to read LoaderTimeInitUSec: Input/output error

Let's just accept that the kernel is returning inconsistent results.
It seems to happen two only two variables on my machine:
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTimeInitUSec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderTimeMenuUSec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f
so it might be related to the way we write them.

2536752dda Rename "system-options" to "systemd-efi-options"
This makes the naming more consistent: we now have
bootctl systemd-efi-options,
$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS
and the SystemdOptions EFI variable.

(SystemdEFIOptions would be redundant, because it is only used in the context
of efivars, and users don't interact with that name directly.)

bootctl is adjusted to use 2sp indentation, similarly to systemctl and other
programs.

Remove the prefix with the old name from 'bootctl systemd-efi-options' output,
since it's redundant and we don't want the old name anyway.

53aa0d02ad Add support for SystemdOptions EFI var to augment /proc/cmdline
In various circumstances, overriding the kernel commandline can be inconvenient.
People have different bootloaders, and e.g. the grub config can be pretty scary.
grubby helps, but it isn't always available.

This option adds an alternative mechanism that can quite convenient on EFI
systems. cmdline settings have higher priority, because they can be (usually)
changed on the bootloader prompt.

$SYSTEMD_EFI_OPTIONS can be used to override, same as $SYSTEMD_PROC_CMDLINE.

0bb2f0f10e util-lib: split shared/efivars into basic/efivars and shared/efi-loader
I want to use efivars.[ch] in proc-cmdline.c, but most of the efivars stuff is
not needed in basic/. Move the file from shared/ to basic/, but then move back
most of the higher-level functions to the new shared/efi-loader.c file.
