Log:
  uefi.8: update HISTORY and remove incomplete AUTHORS
  
  - EFI support appeared in 5.0 for ia64
  - arm64 UEFI support added in 11.0
  
  The AUTHORS section included the folks responsible for the bulk of the
  work to bring UEFI support to amd64, but missed those who did the
  original work on ia64, the initial port to i386, the ports to arm64 and
  arm, and have generally maintained and improved general UEFI support
  since then.  It's unwieldly to include everyone and would quickly become
  outdated again anyhow, so just remove the AUTHORS section.
