UEFI expects strings to be UTF-16. So add an option so that when EFI_LOADER is enabled, we can use the expected unicode string size.

So, I kludged this to just globally pass -fshort-wchar and I see no size changes in a world build (https://gist.github.com/trini/60c4e58c662553ca902b4e878a9a8dc5). I feel we should explain why, and enable this along with the stdc-2011 change.
