How was this pull request tested?
Not at all tested by me because I don't use UEFI
Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
Completely overhauled output/USB/Linux-i386/100_create_efiboot.sh
that should in particular fix https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/2683
by no longer using cp -p but always and only cp -L
to ensure the real content gets copied
but no longer preserve mode,ownership,timestamps because that may fail like

cp: failed to preserve ownership for '/tmp/rear-efi.XXXXXXXXXX/EFI/BOOT/kernel': Operation not permitted

because it copies to a VFAT filesystem on the EFI partition
(see format/USB/default/300_format_usb_disk.sh how it is formatted).
