[PATCH master 4/4] efi: loader: select PRINTF_WCHAR

The loader prints UEFI strings with %ls in a good two dozen places: the
variable name in the error path of efi_var_restore(), the EFI_ENTRY()
traces of the variable, console, HII and unicode collation protocols and
the exit data of a failed EFI payload.
%ls only formats UTF-16 when PRINTF_WCHAR is enabled; otherwise vsprintf
falls back to treating the argument as a C string, which for a UTF-16
string ends at the high byte of its first character:
efi-loader: var-file: Failed to set EFI variable V
instead of "Var0430". EFI_PAYLOAD already selects the symbol, do the same
for EFI_LOADER.

Select this option if you want to run UEFI applications (like GNU
GRUB or an EFI-stubbed kernel) on top of barebox.
