Laszlo Ersek 2542feea2e OvmfPkg, ArmVirtPkg: clean up SetBootOrderFromQemu() parameter list
With OvmfPkg's original QemuBootOrderLib (and USE_OLD_BDS) gone, we no
longer need the BootOptionList parameter in the SetBootOrderFromQemu()
prototype. Update the library class header file (including the function's
documentation), and adapt the library instance and the call sites.

Laszlo Ersek 9253c14d41 OvmfPkg: QemuBootOrderLib: expose QEMU's "-boot menu=on[,splash-time=N]"
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.)
