BaseTools will generate the optimized PCD database to save the image size
at build time for multiple SKUs. The optimized PCD database layout will be like
below, the PCD database will be composed of the full default SKU data
(PCD_DATABASE_INIT) and the non-default SKU delta data(PCD_DATABASE_SKU_DELTA).
PCD driver will build HOB to store the full default SKU data, and patch HOB
data based on non-default SKU delta data for the SKU set by SetSku(),
it can save memory resource at boot time.
//
// PCD database layout:
// +---------------------------------+
// | PCD_DATABASE_INIT (DEFAULT SKU) |
// +---------------------------------+
// | PCD_DATABASE_SKU_DELTA (SKU A) |
// +---------------------------------+
// | PCD_DATABASE_SKU_DELTA (SKU B) |
// +---------------------------------+
// | ...... |
// +---------------------------------+
//
BaseTools, PCD database and driver updates are needed for this proposal.
For single SKU (default) case, this proposal is expected to have no impact.
For multi-SKU case, PCD database format will be changed.
So, PcdDataBase Version is also updated from 6 to 7.

This is pure BaseTools enhancement to support PCD with one structure.
User can specify PCD value based on its structure field.

Problem statement:
The current build system requires that a PCD must use the same access
method for all modules. A Binary Module may use a different PCD access
method than: 1.A source tree build it is integrated into. 2.Other Binary
Modules in platform build that use the same PCD.
Solution:
1. Source build:
No change. PCDs must use the same access method for building all Source
Modules.
2. Mixed Source & Binary Builds or Binary Only Builds:
1) Source Modules - No changes
2) Module that is interpreted as a Binary Module
a.DSC file may optionally override default value of PatchableInModule
PCDs in scope of Binary Module.
b.DSC file must declare DynamicEx PCD subtype for all DynamicEx PCDs
from Binary Modules.
c.FDF file must list Binary Module INF
Build update:
1. PCDs in a binary module are permitted to use the PatchableInModule
or DynamicEx access methods (the Binary INF clearly identifies the PCD
access method for each PCD). The build must support binary modules that
use the same or different PCD access method than the Source INFs or
other Binary INFs.
2. Build report list PCDs that have mixed PCD access methods.
