docs: filesystems: add info about efivars content

When an EFI variable is reading from:

/sys/firmware/efi/efivars

(for example using "hexdump"), the first 4 bytes of the
output are not the real EFI variable data, but the variable
attributes (in little-endian format).

+      When a content of an UEFI variable in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars is
+      displayed, for example using "hexdump", pay attention that the first
+      4 bytes of the output represent the UEFI variable attributes,
