efi_loader: device_path: support Sandbox's "host" devices
Sandbox's "host" devices are currently described as UCLASS_ROOT udevice
with DEV_IF_HOST block device. As the current implementation of
efi_device_path doesn't support such a type, any "host" device
on sandbox cannot be seen as a distinct object.
For example,
=> host bind 0 /foo/disk.img
=> efi devices
Scanning disk host0...

As you can see here, efi_root (0x0000000015c19970) and host0 device
(0x0000000015c19d70) have the same representation of device path.
This is not only inconvenient, but also confusing since two different
efi objects are associated with the same device path and
efi_dp_find_obj() will possibly return a wrong result.
Solution:
Each "host" device should be given an additional device path node
of "vendor device path" to make it distinguishable.
