sys-firmware/edk2-aarch64: Drop in favour of edk2-bin
edk2-bin now supports multiple platforms, including QEMU on arm64, so we
no longer need to use Fedora's build. Note that the Secure Boot
implementation is currently insecure as it lacks SMM, which is needed to
protect the EFI variable store.

Switch from raw (.fd) EDK2 firmware images to QCOW2, plus 4MB on amd64
The new arm64 firmware supporting Secure Boot (see next commit) is in
QCOW2 format only, avoiding the extra space taken up by the 64MB
padding. Supporting both raw and QCOW2 images would be messy, so switch
entirely to QCOW2.

Only the 4MB images are in QCOW2 format on amd64, so also switch away
from the 2MB images. 4MB images are now the default for most
distributions as they are needed to apply certain Windows updates.
