I don't think GRUB's x86_64-efi is an architecture triplet, just a
GRUB-specific target.

UEFI is effectively an "operating system", insofar as it provides a
runtime environment with some baseline properties and a set of system
calls. uefi definitely isn't a "vendor", and the OS shouldn't be "none"
since there is an OS of sorts.

For that reason, Rust uses the target names "aarch64-unknown-uefi",
"i686-unknown-uefi", and "x86_64-unknown-uefi". Those seem like the
right names for these targets in other toolchains, as well.
