X64 Reset Vector Code can access the memory range till 4GB using the
Linear-Address Translation to a 2-MByte Page, when user wants to use
more than 4G using 2M Page it will leads to use more number of Page
table entries. using the 1-GByte Page table user can use more than
4G Memory by reducing the page table entries using 1-GByte Page,
this patch attached can access memory range till 512GByte via Linear-
Address Translation to a 1-GByte Page.
Build Tool: if the nasm is not found it will throw Build errors like
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2]The system cannot find the file specified
run the command wil try except block to get meaningful error message
Test Result: Tested in both Simulation environment and Hardware
both works fine without any issues.

Previously, we would build the page tables in
Tools/FixupForRawSection.py.
In order to let NASM build VTF0 from source during the EDK II build
process, we need to move this into the VTF0 NASM code.
