Description

This PR renames the intelnuc platform to generic-x86_64 to signal its more general nature to a generic x86_64 drives platform implementation for RaspberryMatic. In addition, it also changes from Legacy Boot/BIOS to (U)EFI boot similar to generic-arm64 already is.

However, please note that this means that with the next version users which previously used the intelnuc platform images would have to completly reinstall the generic-x86_64 on their hardware (e.g. IntelNUC) and then restore a latest backup to get back working. However, this should be quiet easily doable given the positive effects of that very change. In addition, by calling it `generic-x86_64´ it should be more clear to new users that these kind of images could be in principle installed on any ordinary modern x86_64 based hardware.
