What to do:
1. Add AuthVariableLib LibraryClass definitions.
2. Implement a NULL AuthVariableLib library instance.
3. Add VARIABLE_ENTRY_PROPERTY definition to VarCheck.h.
4. Add VARIABLE_ENTRY_CONSISTENCY and variable attribute
combinations definitions to VariableFormat.h.
Why to do:
1. Share code.
1.1. Separate auth variable service from Auth Variable driver in
SecurityPkg to AuthVariableLib. Then the AuthVariableLib could benefit
and be used by different implementation of Auth Variable drivers.
1.2 The VARIABLE_ENTRY_PROPERTY definition to VarCheck.h,
VARIABLE_ENTRY_CONSISTENCY and variable attribute
combinations definitions to VariableFormat.h will be shared
by merged Variable driver and AuthVariableLib.

What to do:
1. Move authenticated variable definition from AuthenticatedVariableFormat.h
to VariableFormat.h with gEfiAuthenticatedVariableGuid and
AUTHENTICATED_VARIABLE_HEADER.
Why to do:
1. Share code.
We are moving forward to separate auth variable service from Auth Variable
driver in SecurityPkg to AuthVariableLib. Then the AuthVariableLib could benefit
and be used by different implementation of Auth Variable drivers.
2. Remove code duplication and reduce maintenance effort.
After auth variable service separated from Auth Variable driver in SecurityPkg
to AuthVariableLib. The remaining code logic of Auth Variable driver in SecurityPkg
will be almost same with Variable driver in MdeModulePkg. We are going to
merge them.
3. gEfiAuthenticatedVariableGuid will be used by both merged Variable driver
and AuthVariableLib, AUTHENTICATED_VARIABLE_HEADER will be used by
merged Variable driver.

2. move VariableFormat.h into GUID directory and change the “Signature” field of the VARIABLE_STORE_HEADER to gEfiVariableGuid value.
3. merging VARIABLE_INFO_ENTRY structure into the new Include/Guid/VariableFormat.h
4. change gEfiVariableInfoGuid into gEfiVariableGuid.
5. modify FDF files to use new guid value instead of the original signature.
6. all code related to signature is changed to use guid value.
