BaseTools: Add FMMT Python Tool The FMMT python tool is used for firmware files operation, which has the Fv/FFs-based 'View'&'Add'&'Delete'&'Replace' operation function: 1.Parse a FD(Firmware Device) / FV(Firmware Volume) / FFS(Firmware Files) 2.Add a new FFS into a FV file (both included in a FD file or not) 3.Replace an FFS in a FV file with a new FFS file 4.Delete an FFS in a FV file (both included in a FD file or not) 5.Extract the FFS from a FV file (both included in a FD file or not) This version of FMMT Python tool does not support PEIM rebase feature, this feature will be added in future update. Currently the FMMT C tool is saved in edk2-staging repo, but its quality and coding style can't meet the Edk2 quality, which is hard to maintain (Hard/Duplicate Code; Regression bugs; Restrict usage). The new Python version keeps same functions with origin C version. It has higher quality and better coding style, and it is much easier to extend new functions and to maintain.
