Return false for MBR bootloader check on UEFI machines

Somewhat common are dual boot images that have both a MBR loader
and the contents required for a UEFI boot, as largely the pointer
to where to begin reading the rest of the boot loader occurs in
the first few hundred bytes on disk which redirects the disk to
begin reading from a known address.

This goes sideways on UEFI machines where this method of booting
is not recognized nor supported. Thus we need to return false when
we encounter this state.
