Recent Linux kernels will invoke the LoadFile2 protocol installed on
a well-known vendor media path to load the initrd if it is exposed by
the firmware. Using this method is preferred for two reasons:
- the Linux kernel is in charge of allocating the memory, and so it can
  implement any placement policy it wants (given that these tend to
  change between kernel versions),
- it is no longer necessary to modify the device tree provided by the
  firmware.

So let's install this protocol when handling the 'initrd' command if
such a recent kernel was detected (based on the PE/COFF image version),
and defer loading the initrd contents until the point where the kernel
invokes the LoadFile2 protocol.

I tested this on u-boot n(which also support load_file2 for the initrd).
Even if the user misconfigures the whole thing and try to install the
protocol twice everything seems to be handled properly.
