pstore: Add extra context for writes and erases
EFI only provides small amounts of individual storage, and conventionally puts metadata in the storage variable name. Rather than add a metadata header to the (already limited) variable storage, it's easier for us to modify pstore to pass all the information we need to construct a unique variable name to the appropriate functions.
