The gop protocol implementation uses fb_open, which is only available
with CONFIG_IMAGE_RENDERER=y.

Add a dedicated symbol for it and have it select CONFIG_IMAGE_RENDERER=y
to fix link errors for configurations with CONFIG_VIDEO=y, but no
CONFIG_IMAGE_RENDERER.

Fixes: d040f49ad0b3 ("efi: loader: protocol: add graphical output protocol support")

+    	  The graphics output protocol (GOP) provides UEFI applications access
+    	  to a framebuffer for graphical output. This allows booting of UEFI
+    	  applications and operating systems that require graphics support.
+
+    	  The protocol exposes the video mode information and framebuffer
+    	  details to UEFI payloads, enabling them to render graphics, display
+    	  boot menus, and provide visual feedback during boot.
+
+    	  If you have video support enabled and want to boot UEFI applications
+    	  that require graphics (such as GRUB with graphical menus or Linux
+    	  with EFIFB), say Y here.
