The SetBootOrderFromQemu() function implements a nested loop where

- the outer loop iterates over all OpenFirmware (OFW) device paths in the
  QEMU boot order, and translates each to a UEFI device path prefix;

- the inner loop matches the current (translated) prefix against all
  active UEFI boot options in turn;

- if the UEFI boot option is matched by the translated prefix, the UEFI
  boot option is appended to the "new" UEFI boot order, and marked as
  "has been appended".

This patch adds a micro-optimization where already matched / appended UEFI
boot options are skipped in the inner loop. This is not a functional
change. A functional change would be if, as a consequence of the patch,
some UEFI boot options would no longer be *doubly* matched.

For a UEFI boot option to be matched by two translated prefixes, one of
those prefixes would have to be a (proper, or equal) prefix of the other
prefix. The PCI and MMIO OFW translation routines output such only in the
following cases:

- When the original OFW device paths are prefixes of each other. This is
  not possible from the QEMU side. (Only leaf devices are bootable.)

- When the translation rules in the routines are incomplete, and don't
  look at the OFW device paths for sufficient length (i.e., at nodes where
  they would already differ, and the difference would show up in the
  translation output).

  This would be a shortcoming of the translation routines and should be
  fixed in TranslatePciOfwNodes() and TranslateMmioOfwNodes(), whenever
  identified.

Even in the second case, this patch would replace the double appending of
a single UEFI boot option (matched by two different OFW device paths) with
a correct, or cross-, matching of two different UEFI boot options. Again,
this is not expected, but arguably it would be more correct than duplicate
boot option appending, should it occur due to any (unexpected, unknown)
lack of detail in the translation routines.

This means that SetBootOrderFromQemu() will preserve all UEFI boot options
matched by any given OFW devpath, such as PXEv4, HTTPv4, PXEv6 and HTTPv6
boot options for the same NIC. Currently we stop the matching / appending
for the OFW devpath coming from the outer loop whenever we find the first
UEFI boot option match in the inner loop.

(The previous patch was about multiple OFW devpaths matching a single UEFI
boot option (which should never happen). This patch is about a single OFW
devpath matching multiple UEFI boot options. With the "break" statement
removed here, the small optimization from the last patch becomes a bit
more relevant, because now the inner loop always counts up to
ActiveCount.)
