Aarch64 doesn't support grub-pc, so we cannot
use the regular grub-bootloader, grub-efi-bootloader
has to be used.

Since neither packages nor bootloader are thunked,
there seems to be no other choice than using something
from the outside environment, such as an environment
variable to decide what bootloader to use.

For convenience, a procedure is made to be used from
other Guile code, instead of relying on environment
variables.
