QEMU for x86 has a nasty CPU hotplug bug of which the ramifications are
difficult to oversee, even though KVM acceleration seems to be
unaffected. This has been addressed in QEMU mainline, and will percolate
through the ecosystem at its usual pace. In the mean time, due to the
potential impact on production workloads, we will be updating OVMF to
abort the boot when it detects a QEMU build that is affected.
Tiancore's platform CI uses QEMU in TCG mode, and is therefore impacted
by this mitigation, unless its QEMU builds are updated. This has been
done for Ubuntu-GCC5, but Windows-VS2019 still uses a QEMU build that is
affected.
Aborting the boot upon detecting the QEMU issue will render all boot
tests carried out on Windows-VS2019 broken unless we implement the
'escape hatch' that enables proceed-at-your-own-risk mode, and permits
the boot to proceed even if the QEMU issue is detected.
So let's enable this for Windows-VS2019, and remove it again once it is
no longer needed.

Use the default Python version from the defaults template
(.azurepipelines/templates/defaults.yml) in the Windows and
Linux CI jobs.
Previous changes to the CI job templates make it necessary
to specify a version number, if Python shall be pulled
at CI runtime.

The YAML file previously specified "windows-latest" which recently
moved to VS2022. To continue using VS2019 (at least in the short
term), the VM image needs to be explicitly set to "windows-2019".

Rename TPM_ENABLE to TPM2_ENABLE so naming is in line with the

Add separate TPM1_ENABLE option for TPM 1.2 support.

We currently require QEMU choco package version 2020.08.14 (from commit
3ab9d60fcb), in "OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/.azurepipelines/Windows-VS2019.yml".
Said package version references the following URLs:
https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/Qemu/2020.08.14#files
-> https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w32/qemu-w32-setup-20200814.exe
-> https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/qemu-w64-setup-20200814.exe
These URLs no longer work; Stefan Weil seems to have moved the binaries to
the following archive directories:
- https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w32/2020/
- https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/2020/
In theory, the old QEMU choco packages should be fixed (their powershell
scripts should be updated to reference the new URLs on Stefan Weil's
website). However, this PlatformCI issue is blocking the merging of the
security fix for TianoCore#3356, so getting PlatformCI functional again is
urgent. Let's bump our QEMU choco package requirement to 2021.5.5, whose
URLs work, for now.
(Currently we cannot use any other choco package version, as Stefan's
directories <https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w32> and
<https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64>, without any further subdirectories, only
offer the 20210505 EXE files.)
