EmbeddedPkg: introduce EDKII Platform Has Device Tree GUID

The presence of this GUID in the PPI database, and/or in the DXE protocol
database (as dictated by the platform's needs in these firmware phases)
implies that the platform provides the operating system with a Device
Tree-based hardware description. This is not necessarily exclusive with
other types of hardware description (for example, an ACPI-based one).

A platform PEIM and/or DXE driver is supposed to produce a single instance
of the PPI and/or protocol (with NULL contents), if appropriate. The
decision to produce the PPI and/or protocol is platform specific; for
example, in the DXE phase, it could depend on an HII checkbox / underlying
non-volatile UEFI variable.

In the DXE phase, the protocol is meant to be consumed by the platform
driver that
- owns the Device Tree description of the hardware, and
- is responsible for installing it as a system configuration table.

Said FDT-owner driver can wait for the protocol via DEPEX or protocol
notify.

Because this GUID is not standard, it is prefixed with EDKII / Edkii, as
seen elsewhere (for example in MdeModulePkg and SecurityPkg).

EDKII Platform Has Device Tree GUID
A NULL protocol instance with this GUID in the DXE protocol database, and/or
a NULL PPI with this GUID in the PPI database, implies that the platform
provides the operating system with a Device Tree-based hardware description.
Note that this is not necessarily exclusive with different kinds of hardware
description (for example, an ACPI-based one). A platform driver and/or PEIM
is supposed to produce a single instance of the protocol and/or PPI (with
NULL contents), if appropriate.
