This is needed to avoid bit operations being applied to signed integers.

We never boot from NOR flash, and generally rely on the firmware volume
PI protocols to expose the contents. So drop the block I/O protocol
implementation from VirtNorFlashDxe.

We only use NOR flash for firmware volumes, either for executable images
or for the variable store. So we have no need for exposing disk I/O on
top of the NOR flash partitions so let's remove it.

QEMU's mach-virt is loosely based on ARM Versatile Express, and inherits
its NOR flash driver, which is now being used on other QEMU emulated
architectures as well.
In order to permit ourselves the freedom to optimize this driver for
use under KVM emulation, let's clone it into OvmfPkg, so we have a
version we can hack without the risk of regressing bare metal platforms.
The cloned version is mostly identical to the original, but it depends
on the newly added VirtNorFlashPlatformLib library class instead of the
original one from ArmPlatformPkg. Beyond that, only cosmetic changes
related to #include order etc were made.
