doc: add note about capricious UP2 EFI firmware

The UP2 EFI firmware is a bit capricious and does not consistantly keep the
boot order after adding one using `efibootmgr`. There is no magic recipe (or
known reliable sequence) and hence we add a note warning the user that this
can happen, and when it does the only solution is to try modifying some more
the list of boot entries (inc. re-ordering them).

# efibootmgr -c -l "\EFI\acrn\acrn.efi" -d /dev/mmcblk0 -p 1 -L "ACRN Hypervisor" \
-u "bootloader=\EFI\org.clearlinux\bootloaderx64.efi uart=bdf@0:18.1"
.. note::
There have been reports that the UP2 EFI firmware does not always keep
these settings during a reboot. Make sure to always double-check the
settings if ACRN is not running correctly. There is no reliable way to
set this boot order and you may want to remove other, unused boot entries
and also change the boot order (``-o`` option).
