8c9dc662ee6b: boot/platform/efi: Don't 'enable' graphics mode; solves #16753
* Console-control is non-standard, but is needed on older Apple
hardware to transition their EFI bioses to text-mode so our
bootloader menu can be used / seen.
* Console-control seems to exist on some older Intel hardware as
well. Enabling it breaks our keyboard support. (maybe when enabled
a different legacy UEFI call needs used to input or something)
* Instead of trying to use a deprecated EFI call in a meaningful
way, just do the "bare minimum" of disabling it when it exists.
