Since a "long" device path is still valid, I think that a user should
be allowed to use a long device path especially if he or she wants to
limit an interface for loading any image.
Please add an option to efidebug to select a short or long path.

Furthermore, I would like to ask you to add a test, as you always
require me to do so, for loading from a short path.
Otherwise, the feature will never be exercised in CI loop.
