When creating swupd images, all instances of the same base image must share the same uefiapp binary blob and partition settings, because that uefiapp gets copied into each rootfs and should match what's getting installed in the image. But do_uefiapp ran once for each instance of the image recipe (i.e. for ostro-image-swupd, bundle-ostro-image-swupd-mega, etc.) and therefore the (almost) same files were getting created multiple times. In practice, the impact was low because the actual EFI blob always had the same content (only some partition UUIDs varied). This problem was only detected accidentally when writing the output files concurrently into the same location failed. The fix is to create the do_uefiapp task only once and share the results via the deploy directory. uefiapps still need to be created separately for different image recipes because those image recipes may have different parameters for the uefiapp creation (in particular APPEND is meant to be customizable per image recipe).

When testing this, beware that task-depends.dot is incorrect
unless the new "cooker: Fix incorrect dot file generation" fix is
applied to bitbake. But it already works in practise also without
that patch.
