[Skiboot] [PATCH v2] secvar/backend: use endian-aware types in edk2.h

Recently we had an issue where we did the following:

uint16_t year = le32_to_cpu(timestamp->year);

This is wrong and will break on BE. However, we didn't catch this
with sparse because there was a whole slew of warnings.

The reason for the slew of warnings is that we didn't annotate the
types that store little-endian specific data in edk2.h.

Provide the appropriate annotations.

We now get a single sparse warning for the file, which correctly
identifies the issue:

edk2-compat-process.c:374:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
edk2-compat-process.c:374:46:    expected restricted leint32_t [usertype] le_val
edk2-compat-process.c:374:46:    got restricted leint16_t const [usertype] year

We do lose the signedness of efi_time->timezone, but that's probably OK:
we never use the timezone anyway and the comment above the data structure
makes the signedness pretty clear.

This doesn't fix any actual bug, it just makes it easier for us to pick up
endian issues in future.
