when upgrading an older Mageia installation (mga#31024).

Ensure efivars are mounted before installing a UEFI bootloader (mga#31008)

The old way of accessing EFI NVRAM variables via /sys/firmware/efi/vars
was removed in Linux 6.0. The new way is to use the efivarfs pseudo-
filesystem, which is usually mounted at /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. We
need to make sure this is actually mounted before attempting to install
a UEFI bootloader, otherwise any attempt to write to the EFI NVRAM will
fail.

bootloader: don't completely remove failsafe/nonfb entries on upgrade.

bootloader::suggest() removes any failsafe and nonfb entries for old
kernels on the assumption it will then add them for a newer kernel.
This is particularly a problem when using rEFInd, where we only keep
the entries for the default (unversioned) kernel, but would also
eliminate the failsafe/nonfb entries when using the installer upgrade
option to quickly repair the bootloader.
