Dear Maintainer,

Running `mokutil --generate-hash` on a system that wasn't booted in UEFI mode
results in "EFI variables are not supported on this system". This seems
needlessly restrictive. I'm trying to set up Debian installation automation from
a host that is booted in Legacy BIOS mode and it sure would be nice to call
`mokutil --generate-hash` to help write these installation scripts. :)

Thank you for working on mokutil!
