Bug#1017741: [PATCH] Update package description for EFI*

[Osamu Aoki]

Source: grub2
Version: 2.04-20
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Most modern PCs has been sold with UEFI support for more than 10 years.

Microsoft's certification requirements for now obsolete Windows 8
required UEFI since 2012.

In 2006, Intel Mac was practically the only one but now Macs are
ARM-based.  So mentioning Macs here is misleading.

(Patch file may be sent separately.)
