This is a reworked version of v1[1].
If a (root) file system does not have any partition table, the generated
boot option (BOOTxxxx) by the command,
=> efidebug boot add -b ...
does not work because a device path in the option is in a short-form and
does not contain any valid media device path which should expectedly support
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL.

Test:
=====
* Azure CI passed[2]

TODO:
=====
The other types of short-form device paths, USB_CLASS and HARD_DRIVE, should
also be implemented in boot manager rather than LoadImage API so as to more
properly comply with the UEFI specification.
See "3.1.2 Load Option Processing".
