The QEMU command line option
-boot menu=on
is meant to have the guest firmware wait for a firmware-specific interval
for the user to enter the boot menu. During the wait, the user can opt to
enter the boot menu, or interrupt the wait and proceed to booting at once.
If the wait interval elapses, the firmware should boot as it normally
would.
The QEMU command line option
-boot menu=on,splash-time=N
means the same, except the firmware should wait for cca. N milliseconds
instead of a firmware-specific interval.
We can approximate this behavior quite well for edk2's virtual platforms
because the Intel BDS front page already supports a progress bar, with
semantics similar to the above. Let's distill the fw_cfg bits underlying
"-boot menu=on,splash-time=N" for the BDS policies, in the form of a
timeout value they can pass to Intel's PlatformBdsEnterFrontPage().
If the boot menu is not requested, we return
"gEfiIntelFrameworkModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPlatformBootTimeOut", which
is what the virtual platforms use right now.
If the boot menu is requested without specifying the timeout, we return
the same PCD, unless it would cause us to skip the boot menu at once. In
the latter case, we return 3 seconds (as an approximation of the 2500 ms
SeaBIOS default.)

The TranslateMmioOfwNodes() function recognizes the following OpenFirmware
device paths:
virtio-blk: /virtio-mmio@000000000a003c00/disk@0,0
virtio-scsi disk: /virtio-mmio@000000000a003a00/channel@0/disk@2,3
virtio-net NIC: /virtio-mmio@000000000a003e00/ethernet-phy@0
The new translation can be enabled with the
"PcdQemuBootOrderMmioTranslation" Feature PCD. This PCD also controls if
the "survival policy" covers unselected boot options that start with the
virtio-mmio VenHw() node.

The OpenFirmware device path nodes that QEMU generates for virtio-mmio
transports contain 64-bit hexadecimal values (16 nibbles) -- the base
addresses of the register blocks. In order to parse them soon,
ParseUnitAddressHexList() must parse UINT64 values.
Call sites need to be adapted, as expected.

In preparation for adding OpenFirmware-to-UEFI translation for "MMIO-like"
OFW device path fragments, let's turn the currently exclusive "PCI-like"
translation into "just one" of the possible translations.
- Rename TranslateOfwNodes() to TranslatePciOfwNodes(), because it is
tightly coupled to "PCI-like" translations.
- Rename REQUIRED_OFW_NODES to REQUIRED_PCI_OFW_NODES, because this macro
is specific to TranslatePciOfwNodes().
- Introduce a new wrapper function under the original TranslateOfwNodes()
name. This function is supposed to try translations in some order until
a specific translation returns a status different from
RETURN_UNSUPPORTED.
- Introduce a new Feature PCD that controls whether PCI translation is
attempted at all.
- The boot option "survival policy" in BootOrderComplete() must take into
account if the user was able to select PCI-like boot options. If the
user had no such possibility (because the Feature PCD was off for
PCI-like translation), then we ought to keep any such unselected boot
options.
