One of the last remaining modules with a dependency on the deprecated
BdsLib implementation from ArmPkg is the Android fastboot application.
Its only dependency on BdsLib is BdsStartEfiApplication(), which is
used in the most peculiar way: the fastboot app loads the kernel image
into memory, and creates a MemoryMapped() device path for it. It then
proceeds and calls BdsStartEfiApplication(), which explicitly loads the
contents of the devicepath into memory, creating a second in-memory copy
of the kernel image, after which it invokes gBS->LoadImage() with a
buffer address and size (while it is perfectly capable of loading from
a devicepath directly)
Since we know the device path is fully qualified and connected, and does
not require any of the additional processing that BdsStartEfiApplication()
does when dereferencing a device path, we should be able to pass this
devicepath into LoadImage() directly.
So create a simplified local clone of BdsStartEfiApplication(), and drop
the dependency on BdsLib.

Remove the GUID references to gArmGlobalVariableGuid and includes
of ArmGlobalVariableHob.h since they are not used by the fastboot
app.

Android FastBoot EFI application was using the Linux Loader
from BdsLib. This change makes use of the EFI Linux Loader
application.
