config.sub: recognize *-*-uefi

This commit causes gnu-config to recognize the *-*-uefi triples.

These triples describe binaries which use the PE object file format
and UEFI calling "convention" (which is actually a family of
completely unrelated calling conventions, one per CPU architecture):

- https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.9_A/02_Overview.html#detailed-calling-convention
- https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.9_A/02_Overview.html#detailed-calling-convention-1
- https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.9_A/02_Overview.html#detailed-calling-convention-2
- https://wiki.osdev.org/UEFI#Calling_Conventions

This is in contrast to the *-w64-mingw32 triple of GNU-EFI, which
uses the ELF format and cdecl calling convention:

- https://wiki.osdev.org/UEFI#Calling_Conventions

Because *-*-uefi uses a different object file format (everywhere)
and calling convention (everywhere except x86_32) from
*-w64-mingw32, the resulting binaries cannot be linked against each
other.  This is the primary justification for introducing a new
triple.

Since gnu-config does not yet have triples for these builds, we
might as well use the same ones already selected by LLVM.  It
considers uefi to be an operating system:

* config.sub (*-*-uefi): Recognize.
* testsuite/config-sub.data (i686-unknown-uefi, x86_64-unknown-uefi,
  aarch64-unknown-uefi): New entries.
