[PATCH v2] efi/arm64: use UEFI for system reset and poweroff

If UEFI Runtime Services are available, they are preferred over direct
PSCI calls or other methods to reset the system.

For the reset case, we need to hook into machine_restart(), as the
arm_pm_restart function pointer may be overwritten by modules.
