efivars: retry open and read operations

On my laptop (Lenovo X1carbo 4th) I very occasionally see test-boot-timestamps
fail with this tb:

262/494 test-boot-timestamps                    FAIL    0.7348453998565674 s (killed by signal 6 SIGABRT)

Assertion 'q >= 0' failed at src/test/test-boot-timestamps.c:84, function main(). Aborting.

Normally it takes ~0.02s, but here there's a slowdown to 0.73 and things fail with EINTR.
This happens only occasionally, and I haven't been able to capture a strace.

It would be to ignore that case in test-boot-timestamps or always translate
EINTR to -ENODATA. Nevertheless, I think it's better to retry, since this gives
as more resilient behaviour and avoids a transient failure.
