uefi: helpers: Introduce OwnedDevicePath

This PR is split off from rust-lang#135368 to reduce noise.

No real functionality changes, just some quality of life improvements.

Introduce `device_path_to_text_raw` which creates a Box<[u16]> (UTF-16
string) from path instead of creating OsString. The UTF-16 returned by
`EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT` protocol is owned by the caller, so we are
just moving the memory management to box instead of freeing it in the
function itself.

OsString internally is stored as WTF-8, which means converting OsString
to Box<[u16]> requires allocation. This is not ideal for std::fs APIs
where we need to perform Device Path Protocol matching while opening a
volume, and create a UEFI UTF-16 string from the remaining path (which
represents file path inside a volume). This remaining path is never used
on the Rust side, and thus does not need to be converted to WTF-8 to be
used. By introducing direct conversion to Box<[u16]>, we shorten the
conversions from `EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL` -> WTF-8 -> UTF-16 to
`EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL` -> UTF-16 which is required in every file
open operation. That is, we remove 2 intermediate allocation and 1
UTF-16 validation.

Also implement Debug for OwnedDevicePath for some quality of life
improvements.
