efi: Lock down the kernel if booted in secure boot mode

Based on an earlier patch by David Howells, who wrote the following
description:

> UEFI Secure Boot provides a mechanism for ensuring that the firmware will
> only load signed bootloaders and kernels.  Certain use cases may also
> require that all kernel modules also be signed.  Add a configuration option
> that to lock down the kernel - which includes requiring validly signed
> modules - if the kernel is secure-booted.

[Salvatore Bonaccorso: After fixing https://bugs.debian.org/956197 the
help text for LOCK_DOWN_IN_EFI_SECURE_BOOT needs to be adjusted to
mention that lockdown is triggered in integrity mode]
