Most users don't need the standalone API examples. Distributions like Suse
do not supply libgcc for cross-compiling and we cannot do without on ARMv8
for building examples/.
Make examples customizable via symbol CONFIG_EXAMPLES. It only defaults to
yes to ensure that we compile it on Gitlab CI.

I wonder if we should not completely drop the standalone API. The UEFI API
has enough to run a standalone application.
