Subject: gpt-generator: use /efi as mount point for the ESP if it exists

Let's make the EFI generator a bit smarter: if /efi exists it is used as mount
point for the ESP, otherwise /boot is used. This should increase compatibility
with distros which use legacy boot loaders that insist on having /boot as
something that isn't the ESP.
