profiles: Mask sys-boot/gnu-efi,refind[custom-cflags]

Both packages are very sensitive when it comes to compile flags which can easily
result in black screens, hangs or crashes. Also, the average joe should never
have any desire or advantage to set custom flags on those packages. Thus mask
the use flag.
