efi/libstub: Enable reset attack mitigation
If a machine is reset while secrets are present in RAM, it may be possible for code executed after the reboot to extract those secrets from untouched memory. The Trusted Computing Group specified a mechanism for requesting that the firmware clear all RAM on reset before booting another OS. This is done by setting the MemoryOverwriteRequestControl variable at startup. If userspace can ensure that all secrets are removed as part of a controlled shutdown, it can reset this variable to 0 before triggering a hardware reboot.
