The boot variables automatically generated for removable medias should be with short form of device path without device nodes. This is a requirement for the case that a removable media is plugged into a different port but is still able to work with the existing boot variables.

Changes in v3 - Split the patch into moving and renaming functions and individual patches for each changed functionality Changes in v4 - Revert v2 change of introducing a bool parameter when updating the boot option. Use short-form of device path by default Changes in v5 - Add warning log when a short-form device path doesn't exist Changes in v6 - Revert v5 change and use original device path if short-form does not exist
