efi: Check EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR version explicitly

Our efi_memory_desc_t type is based on EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR version 1 in
the UEFI spec. No version updates are expected, but since we are about to
introduce support for new firmware tables that use the same descriptor
type, it makes sense to at least warn if we encounter other versions.
