The primary FV contains the firmware boot image, which is not
runtime updatable in our case. So exposing it to the NOR flash
driver is undesirable, since it may attempt to modify the NOR
flash contents. It is also rather pointless, since we don't
keep anything there that we care to expose. (the SEC and PEI
phase modules are not executable from DXE context, and the
contents of the embedded DXE phase FV are exposed by the DXE
core directly via the FVB2 protocol)
So let's disregard the NOR flash block that covers the primary
FV.

NorFlashQemuLib is one of the last remaining drivers in ArmVirtPkg
that are not based on the device tree received from QEMU.
For ArmVirtQemu, this does not really matter, given that the NOR
flash banks are always the same: the PEI code is linked to execute
in place from flash bank #0, and the fixed varstore PCDs refer to
flash bank #1 directly.
However, ArmVirtQemuKernel can execute at any offset, permitting it
to be used as an intermediary loader when running QEMU with secure
world emulation enabled, in which case NOR flash bank #0 is secure
only and contains the secure world firmware. In this case,
NorFlashQemuLib should not expose the first flash bank at all.
To prevent introducing too much internal knowledge about which flash
bank is accessible under which circumstances, let's switch to using
the DTB to decide which flash banks to expose to the NOR flash driver.
