bootctl: optionally install .signed efi file
if /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi.signed exists install that instead of /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi the idea is that SecureBoot tooling can create the efi.signed file whenever /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi from the package is updated.
