The x86 reset vector is the initial FW code to run on an
AP. It should not link to any libraries and is implemented
entirely in assembly. This module is currently labled as
SEC, because it runs during the SEC phase, but by having it
SEC, it will be linked to all NULL libraries linked globally.
This causes issue with StackCheckLib (though any NULL
library being applied globally has the same issue) because
BaseTools will attempt to link the library and add an
extern to _ModuleEntryPoint, which does not exist for this
module.
Moving this module to USER_DEFINED instructs BaseTools to
not link any NULL libraries to it, which is the desired
behavior, and leads to a much cleaner global NULL library
implementation, in this case for StackCheckLib.
This change was tested on OVMF IA32/X64 and proved to work
as before.

Because it's simpler for a platform to include the ResetVector source
and having pre-built binaries add burdens of updating the pre-built
binaries. This patch removes the pre-built binaries and the script
that buids the pre-built binaries.

ResetVector assembly implementation puts "ALIGN 16" in the end
to guarantee the final executable file size is multiple of 16 bytes.
Because the module uses a special GUID which guarantees it's put in
the very end of a FV, which should be also the end of the FD.
All of these (file size is multiple of 16B, and the module is put at
end of FV, FV is put at end of FD) guarantee the "JMP xxx" instruction
is at FFFF_FFF0h.
This patch updates INF file and ReadMe.txt to add guidance of FDF ffs
rule for the ResetVector.
