efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backend

Browse source 
Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to
avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to
compile out the code completely.

Set the default to Y to maintain backwards compatability, since this
feature has always been enabled until now.

Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
else supported by pstore to EFI variables.
