[Bug 1285667] [NEW] installer sets incorrect boot path on UEFI system with SSD

[Colin King]

Private bug reported:

After installation on a UEFI enabled system, the boot path in the Boot*
variable is set to:

 \HARDDRIVE(1,MBR,4ed80301,0,0)\FILE('\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi').

However, the actual boot path should be:

\ACPI(0xa0341d0,0x0)\PCI(0x0,0x1)\PCI(0x0,0x0)\NVMEXPRESS(0x1,0x0)

I'm pretty sure this worked when I tested it a month or two back, so I'm
not sure what's changed.

The target drive is an NVME SSD.
