poky-altcfg.conf: enable "efi" in DISTRO_FEATURES

Browse Source 
oe-core machines like genericarm64 already enable "efi" in
MACHINE_FEATURES but this does not enable systemd side
"efi" support and thus systemd does not mount ESP
partition for example.

Enabling "efi" in systemd PACKAGECONFIG got negative comments
in review. Also enabling systemd "efi" support via MACHINE_FEATURES
was rejected. Thus enabling this as distro feature for "poky-altcfg".

Many HW targets come with UEFI compatible firmware by default.
For example u-boot enables UEFI support by default on all targets.

This enables seeing UEFI firmware interfaces and data
in userspace since "efivars" is now mounted by systemd
to /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. Things like UEFI bootloader
(grub, systemd-boot etc) selections and secure boot status
can be queried from there.
