Add --efi-boot-option-description argument to bootctl to control the name of the boot
entry.
By default an entry named "Linux Boot Manager" is created (which is the
previous behavior). With the flag the name of the entry can be
controlled, which is useful when installing systemd-boot to multiple ESP
partitions and having uniquely named entries.
Fixes #17044.
