Fix typeo in efierr.h EFI_WARN_UNKNOWN_GLYPH definition.

Just broke every build that used this symbol. This is supposed to be a library project, you can't simply change exported library symbols on the grounds of fixing a typo. You can see the dilemma this poses for gentoo here:

Can you please put the symbol back, even if you keep the spelling corrected one
