Currently, the flag "-fpie" is passed for all builds with a GCC
family toolchain, including CLANGPDB. CLANGPDB however does not
support this flag as it generates PE/COFF files directly.
As the flag is mostly required for ARM-specific self-relocation, drop
it for other architectures and document the limitation to enable e.g.
X64 CLANGPDB builds of StandaloneMmCore.

This change allows to build StandaloneMmPkg components for 32bit Arm
StandaloneMm firmware.
This change mainly moves AArch64/ source files to Arm/ side directory
for several components: StandaloneMmCpu, StandaloneMmCoreEntryPoint
and StandaloneMmMemLib. The source file is built for both 32b and 64b
Arm targets.

The standalone MM core runs in a restricted environment that is set
up by a higher privilege level, and which may not allow memory regions
to be writable and executable at the same time.
This means that making the StMM core self-relocatable requires that
all the targets of the relocation fixups are outside of the executable
region of the image, given that we cannot remap the executable code
writable from the executable code itself without losing those execute
permissions.
So instead, use the existing toolchain support to ensure that position
independent code is used where possible, and that all the remaining
relocated quantities are emitted into the data section. (Note that
staticallly initialized const pointers will be emitted into the
.data.rel.ro section, which gets pulled into the .data section by
our linker script)
To ensure that we don't pick up any absolute references in executable
code inadvertently (e.g., in assembler code), add the '-z text' linker
option which will force the build to fail in this case.

Standalone MM requires 4 KB section alignment for all images, so that
strict permissions can be applied. Unfortunately, this results in a
lot of wasted space, which is usually costly in the secure world
environment that standalone MM is expected to operate in.
So let's permit the standalone MM drivers (but not the core) to be
delivered in a compressed firmware volume.

Management Mode (MM) is a generic term used to describe a secure
execution environment provided by the CPU and related silicon that is
entered when the CPU detects a MMI. For x86 systems, this can be
implemented with System Management Mode (SMM). For ARM systems, this can
be implemented with TrustZone (TZ).
A MMI can be a CPU instruction or interrupt. Upon detection of a MMI, a
CPU will jump to the MM Entry Point and save some portion of its state
(the "save state") such that execution can be resumed.
The MMI can be generated synchronously by software or asynchronously by
a hardware event. Each MMI source can be detected, cleared and disabled.
Some systems provide for special memory (Management Mode RAM or MMRAM)
which is set aside for software running in MM. Usually the MMRAM is
hidden during normal CPU execution, but this is not required. Usually,
after MMRAM is hidden it cannot be exposed until the next system reset.
The MM Core Interface Specification describes three pieces of the PI
Management Mode architecture:
1. MM Dispatch
During DXE, the DXE Foundation works with the MM Foundation to
schedule MM drivers for execution in the discovered firmware volumes.
2. MM Initialization
MM related code opens MMRAM, creates the MMRAM memory map, and
launches the MM Foundation, which provides the necessary services to
launch MM-related drivers. Then, sometime before boot, MMRAM is
closed and locked. This piece may be completed during the
SEC, PEI or DXE phases.
3. MMI Management
When an MMI generated, the MM environment is created and then the MMI
sources are detected and MMI handlers called.
This patch implements the MM Core.
