During the Incremental build GenerateByteArrayValue used to generate the
ByteArrayValue even when there is no change in the PCD/VPDs. which is
time consuming API based on the number of PCD/VPDs and SKU IDs.
The optimization is that GenerateByteArrayValue is used to store the
StructuredPcdsData in a JSON file for each of the arch. and during the
Incremental build this API will check, if there is any change in the
Structured PCD/VPDs then rest of the flow remains the same.
if there is no change then it will return the provious build data.
Flow:
during the 1st build StructuredPcdsData.json is not exists,
StructuredPcdsData will be dumped to json file. and it will copy the
output.txt as well.
Note: as the output.txt are different for different Arch, so it will be
stored in the Arch folder.
During the Incremental build check if there is any change in Structured
PCD/VPD. if there is a change in Structured VPD/PCD then recreate the
StructuredPcdsData.json, and rest of the flow remains same.
if there is no change in VPD/PCD read the output.txt and return the data
Unit Test:
Test1: Modified the Structured Pcds default from DEC file. current flow
is executing.
Test2: Override the default value of the PCD from DEC file. current flow
is executing.
Test3: Modified/Override the PCD from DSC file. current flow executing
Test4: Modified/Override the FDF from DSC file. current flow executing
Test5: update the default value from Command Line.current flow executing
Test6: Build without change in PCD in DSC, FDF, DEC and Command Line the
proposed changes will be executing, and the return data remains the same
with and without the changes.
Test7: Build with and without modified the include headers of Structured
PCDs. if there is any change in those Structured PCD header then
current flow will be executed.
With these changes it's helping to save around ~2.5min to ~3.5min of
Incremental build time in my build environment.

The patch "[PATCH v3 1/2] StandaloneMmPkg: Make StandaloneMmCpu driver
architecture independent" (https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/109178)
removed ArmPkg/ArmPkg.dec from the Packages section in the
INF file: StandaloneMmPkg/Drivers/StandaloneMmCpu/StandaloneMmCpu.inf
This change was done as part of making the StandaloneMmCpu driver
architecture independent.
Although this change is correct, it results in a side effect
here some platforms that utilise PCDs declared in ArmPkg.dec are
no longer declared.
An example of this issue can be seen when building
edk2-platforms/Platform/ARM/SgiPkg/PlatformStandaloneMm.dsc
$ build -a AARCH64 -t GCC -p Platform/ARM/SgiPkg/PlatformStandaloneMm.dsc
build.py...
/mnt/source/edk2-platforms/Platform/ARM/SgiPkg/PlatformStandaloneMm.fdf(23):
error F001: PCD (gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFdBaseAddress) used in
FDF is not declared in DEC files.
As seen above, removing ArmPkg.dec from the Packages section in the
StandAloneMmCpu Driver Inf file triggers build failure.
Although, ArmPkg.dec is included in other Library Instances,
the build system does not include the declarations from
.dec files defined in Library instances.
The build system only includes the PCD declarations from DEC files
that are specified in INF files for Modules (components).
Therefore, extend the build system to include the Packages from
Library Instances so that the PCD declarations from the respective package
DEC files are included.

Redesign the binary cache and bases on the compiler to
output the dependency header files info for every module.
The binary cache will directly consume the dependency header
files info and doesn't parse the C source code by iteself.
Also redesign the dependency files list format for module
and try to share the common lib hash result as more as
possible in local process. Remove the unnecessary share data
access across multiprocessing.

Currently a PCD (e.g. FeaturePCD) cannot be used in a conditional
statement in a DSC/FDF file without a module in the build referencing
the PCD package DEC file.
An example implementation that to support this is to allow a [Packages]
section in the DSC file to list additional package dependencies for PCD
references in the package DSC/FDF files.
this patch is going to add the ability to have the [packages] section
defined in the DSC file
