rtc: efi: use correct EFI 'epoch'

The rtc-efi driver declares that the EFI 'epoch' is 1/1/1998, but
the UEFI spec does not define it at all. It does define a range of
[1900, 9999] for the 'Year' member of the EFI_TIME struct, so let's
use 1900 as the minimum year and not 1998.
Also, move the validation of the year to the convert_from_efi_time()
routine where all other EFI_TIME fields are validated as well.

This prevents rtc_read_time() failures when the RTC that backs the
EFI time services is set to a date before 1998, e.g., when it has
lost power.

This also optimizes the compute_wday() routine, by replacing the for
loop with a simple arithmetic expression, and by reusing the yearday
value that we need to compute anyway when populating the
rtc_time::tm_yday field.
