uefi-raw: Add Char8/Char16
These definitions are just type aliases, unlike the more restrictive newtypes in the `uefi` package. In particular, the `uefi` package does not allow `Char16` to be created for surrogate pair characters. This is more restrictive than what UEFI actually specifies though; it says that `Char16` is _usually_ UCS-2, but particular uses may allow other encodings. So for `uefi-raw`, just treat `Char16` as numbers that can hold any `u16` value.
