The PRM Configuration protocol is used by PRM module configuration
libraries to describe their resources so that a generic PRM Configuration
DXE driver can prepare those resources for OS runtime.
Therefore, multiple instances are expected in the system per boot with
approximately one instance per PRM module. All PRM Configuration Protocol
instances must be installed prior to end of DXE.

Adds a new package to maintain Platform Runtime Mechanism (PRM)
support.
This package is intended to include generic code that provides a
common infrastructure to support PRM in firmware and a collection
of sample PRM modules that demonstrate how to use the interfaces
and other package resources to author a PRM module.
The following initial headers are included in this commit:
* Prm.h - Includes common content for PRM with no dependencies on
other PRM header files.
* PrmContextBuffer.h - Includes definitions for PRM context buffers.
Context buffers are standardized structures that point to various
resources available to a PRM handler during its execution.
* PrmDataBuffer.h - Includes definitions for PRM data buffers.
Within the context of PRM, these data buffers are composed of a
generic header followed by a variable length blob of arbitrary
data.
* PrmExportDescriptor.h - Includes definitions for creating PRM
export descriptors.
A PRM export descriptor is a structure referenced in the export
table of PRM module that contains PRM-specific metadata about the
module.
* PrmMmio.h - Includes definitions for describing MMIO ranges uses
by PRM modules.
* PrmModule.h - Includes definitions commonly used by PRM module
authors.
This file is provided to serve as a convenient include for PRM
module authors.
* PrmOsServices.h - Includes content specific to PRM OS services.
OS Services will not planned to be present in the final version
of PRM. The OS Services have been reduced to a simple debug print
function. So this is currently planned to be a temporary file to
support debugging during PRM development.
Note: Modules built for the UEFI environment can be built by Visual
Studio and non-Visual Studio toolchains. However, PRM modules
are currently only supported on Visual Studio toolchain due to
usage of export tables.
