  Log Message:
  -----------
  Use shorter fs label for EFI partition to not break with recent dosfstools

This used to work fine until dosfstools 4.1:

| root at grml ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" /dev/loop1
| mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
| mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows

Now with dosfstools >=4.2 it's failing though:

| root at grml ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" /dev/loop1
| mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31)
| mkfs.fat: Label can be no longer than 11 characters

So instead use "EFI" as filesystem label, to not fail with newer dosfstools.

Closes: #987014
Closes: grml/grml-debootstrap#168
