R9:8e5ff76f821b: 14.0 relnotes: recommend updating EFI boot loader when booting UFS

Summary

UFS root file systems do not have the same issues as ZFS for the
boot loader, but the boot loader should still be updated. Generalize
the section on updating the ESP. ZFS must be done before zpool update,
UFS should be done.

70	I'd add "While not mandatory, " to the start of this sentence. With zfs it won't boot at all if you've done a zpool upgrade. With both uFS and ZFS (unupgraded), you won't generally hit problems... but sometimes you will since you'll be running new lua scripts with the old loader and anything implemented in C won't be available...
