UEFI boot on Mac without rEFInd

This does the trick for creating Tails usb disks that function on OS X:

Either we should advertise this as the supported way for using tails on a Apple hardware/EFI backdoored hardware or we might consider integrating it full stop.

It does appear that the persistence feature doesn’t work as Tails thinks it wasn’t created with the USB installer, which is correct.
