Some platforms don't format a variable store template at build time;
instead they format the non-volatile varstore flash chip during boot,
dynamically. Introduce NvVarStoreFormattedLib to enable such platforms to
delay the "variable read" service drivers until the platform specific
module(s) report that the variable store has been formatted.
The platform-specific module that performs the formatting during startup
is usually an FVB or MM FVB driver. Under the proposed scheme, it becomes
responsible for installing gEdkiiNvVarStoreFormattedGuid with a NULL
interface in the protocol database. In turn, the platform DSC will hook
NvVarStoreFormattedLib into the variable service driver, to make the
latter wait for the FVB driver. Platforms that need not delay the variable
service driver like this may still use the same FVB driver;
gEdkiiNvVarStoreFormattedGuid will simply be ignored.

Linux on ARM/arm64 will infer from the presence of a /chosen/stdout-path
DT property or of a SPCR ACPI table that the primary console is the serial
port, even if a graphical console is available as well.
So let's introduce a driver that allows the user to set a preference
between graphical and serial if both are available. If the preference
is set to 'Graphical', and any GOP protocol instances have been installed
by the time the ReadyToBoot event is signalled, remove the DT property
and/or the SPCR table entirely.

Given the agreement on the edk2-devel regarding the fact that the
notion whether or not a 'platform has ACPI' is a universal one, move
the PlatformHasAcpi GUID to MdeModulePkg.

As a follow up to the changes proposed by Laszlo to make ACPI and DT
mutually exclusive on ArmVirtQemu, this patch proposes a DT platform
DXE driver that either installs the NULL protocol PlatformHasAcpiGuid,
or installs the FV embedded DTB binary as a configuration table under
the appropriate GUID, depending on a preference setting recorded as
a UEFI variable, and configurable via a HII screen.
The DTB binary can be embedded in the firmware image by adding the
following to the platform .fdf file:
FILE FREEFORM = 25462CDA-221F-47DF-AC1D-259CFAA4E326 {
SECTION RAW = SomePkg/path/to/foo.dtb

The presence of this GUID in the PPI database, and/or in the DXE protocol
database (as dictated by the platform's needs in these firmware phases)
implies that the platform provides the operating system with a Device
Tree-based hardware description. This is not necessarily exclusive with
other types of hardware description (for example, an ACPI-based one).
A platform PEIM and/or DXE driver is supposed to produce a single instance
of the PPI and/or protocol (with NULL contents), if appropriate. The
decision to produce the PPI and/or protocol is platform specific; for
example, in the DXE phase, it could depend on an HII checkbox / underlying
non-volatile UEFI variable.
In the DXE phase, the protocol is meant to be consumed by the platform
driver that
- owns the Device Tree description of the hardware, and
- is responsible for installing it as a system configuration table.
Said FDT-owner driver can wait for the protocol via DEPEX or protocol
notify.
Because this GUID is not standard, it is prefixed with EDKII / Edkii, as
seen elsewhere (for example in MdeModulePkg and SecurityPkg).

In the DXE phase, the protocol is meant to be depended-upon by
"MdeModulePkg/Universal/Acpi/AcpiTableDxe", indirectly:
* In the long term, interested platforms will establish this dependency by
hooking an (upcoming) NULL-class DepexLib instance into AcpiTableDxe in
their DSC files, pointing DepexLib's DEPEX through a FixedAtBuild PCD to
the GUID introduced here. (For the prerequisite BaseTools feature, refer
to <https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443>).
* In the short term, an interested platform may hook a private NULL-class
library instance (called e.g. "PlatformHasAcpiLib") into AcpiTableDxe.
Such a library instance would be a specialization of the above described
generic DepexLib, with the DEPEX open-coded on the GUID introduced here.
Either way, the platform makes EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL and (if enabled)
EFI_ACPI_SDT_PROTOCOL dependent on the platform's dynamic decision to
produce or not to produce a NULL protocol instance with this GUID.
In turn, other (platform and universal) DXE drivers that produce ACPI
tables will wait for EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL / EFI_ACPI_SDT_PROTOCOL, via
DEPEX, protocol notify, or a simple gBS->LocateProtocol() in a "late
enough" callback (such as Ready To Boot).
Because this GUID is not standard, it is prefixed with EDKII / Edkii, as
seen elsewhere in MdeModulePkg and SecurityPkg. In addition, an effort is
made to avoid the phrase "AcpiPlatform", as that belongs to drivers /
libraries that produce platform specific ACPI content (as opposed to
deciding whether the entire firmware will have access to
EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL, or any similar facilities in the PEI phase).

Instead of using a dynamic PCD, store the device tree address in a HOB
so that we can also run under a configuration that does not support
dynamic PCDs.
This also adds MemoryAllocationLib to the [LibraryClasses] section of
ArmVirtualizationPlatformLib/ArmVirtualizationPlatformLib.inf, as this
dependency was formerly satisfied transitively through one of the
library dependencies that were dropped.
