We currently rely on .align directives to ensure that each exception
vector entry is the appropriate offset from the vector base address.
This is slightly fragile, as were an entry to become too large (greater
than 32 A64 instructions), all following entries would be silently
shifted until they meet the next alignment boundary. Thus we might
execute the wrong code in response to an exception.
To prevent this, introduce a new macro, VECTOR_ENTRY, that uses .org
directives to position each entry at the precise required offset from
the base of a vector. A vector entry which is too large will trigger a
build failure rather than a runtime failure which is difficult to debug.
For consistency, the base and end of each vector is similarly annotated,
with VECTOR_BASE and VECTOR_END, which provide the necessary alignment
and symbol exports. The now redundant directives and labels are removed.

We force alignment to 2K after generating the DebugAgentVectorTable
symbol, and hence DebugAgentVectorTable itself may not be 2K-aligned,
and table entries may not be at the correct offset from the
DebugAgentVectorTable base address.
Fix this by forcing alignment before generating the
DebugAgentVectorTable symbol.

Some AArch64 platforms have RAM and flash devices >4GB.
Update some additional Pcd entries to 64-bit, and change
the corresponding PcdGet32 calls to PcdGet64.

The AArch64 Vector Table must be aligned on a 2K boundary.
The FDF specification does not support 2K alignment but support 4K.
A clear comment has been added to help integrator to understand why the
assertion fails when porting to a new AArch64 platform.

In case a DebugAgent library is supported for a specific debugger, we would
expect the exception be caught by DebugAgentLib.
The DebugAgentBaseLib exposes the cause of the exception to the user in the
Serial Terminal.
