jljusten 7628b0f5aa OvmfPkg: enable the generic network stack by default
DHCP, PXE, and StdLib socket apps are enabled in OVMF by the sum of:
(a) a UEFI NIC driver,
(b) the generic network stack.

The only choice for (a) used to be the proprietary Intel E1000 driver,
which is cumbersome to obtain and enable.

The iPXE UEFI NIC drivers packaged with qemu-1.5 cover (a) for each NIC
type supported by qemu, and are easy to obtain & configure, even for
earlier qemu versions. Therefore enable (b) per default as well.

This doesn't take up much space; the binaries (b) adds to the firmware
don't seem to need -D FD_SIZE_2MB.

Intel's e1000 driver remains an option, requested by the -D E1000_ENABLE
build flag.

jljusten 0b5a5022e5 OvmfPkg: Disable debugging for UNIXGCC to save space
UNIXGCC builds larger images than GCC44, and can have issues
fitting into the FD image. Therefore, when using UNIXGCC,
debug will be disabled by default.

The README file is updated with instructions for selectively
enabling debug for UNIXGCC.

jljusten 66325870af OvmfPkg/build.sh: Add features and replace build32/64.sh
Add a single build.sh to replace build32.sh & build64.sh.

The script watches for various parameters:
-a: allows selecting IA32 or X64 (default)
-b: allows selecting RELEASE or DEBUG (default)
-t: allows selecting the toolchain

When running qemu, the script doesn't always add -hda now.
If the user provides a disk parameter (for example, -fda, -hda
or -cdrom), then -hda will not be added to the qemu command line.
