Peter Jones 9b89b1dedb efi: Fix the type of grub_efi_status_t
Currently, in some builds with some checkers, we see:

1. grub-core/disk/efi/efidisk.c:601: error[shiftTooManyBitsSigned]: Shifting signed 64-bit value by 63 bits is undefined behaviour

This is because grub_efi_status_t is defined as grub_efi_intn_t, which is
signed, and shifting into the sign bit is not defined behavior.  UEFI fixed
this in the spec in 2.3:

2.3 | Change the defined type of EFI_STATUS from INTN to UINTN | May 7, 2009

And the current EDK2 code has:
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-//
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-// Status codes common to all execution phases
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-//
MdePkg/Include/Base.h:typedef UINTN RETURN_STATUS;
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-/**
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  Produces a RETURN_STATUS code with the highest bit set.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @param  StatusCode    The status code value to convert into a warning code.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-                        StatusCode must be in the range 0x00000000..0x7FFFFFFF.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @return The value specified by StatusCode with the highest bit set.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-**/
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-#define ENCODE_ERROR(StatusCode)     ((RETURN_STATUS)(MAX_BIT | (StatusCode)))

MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  Produces a RETURN_STATUS code with the highest bit clear.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-

MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @param  StatusCode    The status code value to evaluate.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @retval TRUE          The high bit of StatusCode is set.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-  @retval FALSE         The high bit of StatusCode is clear.
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-**/
MdePkg/Include/Base.h-#define RETURN_ERROR(StatusCode)     (((INTN)(RETURN_STATUS)(StatusCode)) < 0)
...
Uefi/UefiBaseType.h:typedef RETURN_STATUS             EFI_STATUS;

This patch makes grub's implementation match the Edk2 declaration with regards
to the signedness of the type.

README

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
see:
