[ANNOUNCE] EFI Boot Guard 0.20 released

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi,

this release of EFI Boot Guard fixes rare startup problems on devices
that have problems with accepting the LoaderDevicePartUUID EFI variable.
This not only affects EFI Boot Guard, also systemd-boot, but we were
failing the boot so far which was too strict. We furthermore addressed
potential unaligned memory accesses which can fail on ARM. And there is
now accelerated rollback in case already loading if a try-out EFI
payload fails. See below for the full list of changes.

Thanks to all contributors!
