The description is superfluous. It is enough to say that we have to
provide ukify tool to build images for systemd-boot

I support the name systemd-boot-native, it links this tool to the
systemd-boot target package, the main user of the generated images.

systemd-boot recipe installs those files already. ssytemd-bootaa64.efi
goes to ${EFI_FILES_PATH}/${SYSTEMD_BOOT_IMAGE} in the package
(/boot/EFI/BOOT/), while addonaa64.efi.stub and linuxaa64.efi.stub are
installed to the DEPLOY_DIR. Indeed, they are not necessary on the
target system as one rarely builds a kernel on the OE rootfs. If the
need arises, we can probably add systemd-boot-stubs package, having
these two files.
