When PcdBdsLinuxSupport is enabled, users can create boot
entries for the legacy EFI Linux loader.
The ARM BDS detects if the image is a EFI image if not
then it assumes it is a legacy Linux kernel (a kernel
without EFI Stub).
If the Boot Manager did not manage to load the binary
(it could happen when the binary is on the network or
not present on the media yet).

Since the embedded Linux Loader has been removed from BdsLib
there is no more Linux specific boot option.
All the boot options are now expected to be arguments for
EFI applications.

People has requested this feature to be restaured in the
ARM Boot Manager.
The configuration from the EFI Shell is always possible
and it is the recommended approach to update the FDT
Device Path.

Added the reordering of the boot options feature to the boot manager.
The BootMenuSelectBootOption() has been split into
DisplayBootOptions() that only displays the boot options and
SelectBootOptions() that asks to select one.

Removed "RequestBootType" argument of the "*CreateDevicePathNode()" and
"*UpdateDevicePathNode()" functions. A boolean field "Request
BootType" has been added to the BDS_LOAD_OPTION_SUPPORT structure and
is used by the "BootMenuAddBootOption()" and "BootMenuUpdateBootOption()"
functions instead.

- single character ASCII strings are interpreted as Unicode string

The initial support was only considering the added Device Path will be a single node.
TFTP for instance requires two new nodes on the top of the ethernet Device Path; a first
one for the IP address of the server and a second one for the file to download.
This change replace the return argument from a DevicePath node by a DevicePath.
It means the End Device Path node is now required.
