PI 1.5 spec has minor update to the Data parameter for PEI
GetVariable(), and no real functional behavior change.
The modifier of Data parameter:
OUT VOID *Data
->
OUT VOID *Data OPTIONAL
The comments of Data parameter:
Data Points to the buffer which will hold the returned variable value.
->
Data Points to the buffer which will hold the returned variable value.
May be NULL with a zero DataSize in order to determine the size of the buffer needed.
The patch is to follow the spec to update the implementation.

Current GetVariable implementation will return the first variable for
empty str VariableName, it is because GetVariable and GetNextVariablename
are sharing same function FindVariable.
But UEFI sepc defines SetVariable that If VariableName is an empty string,
then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned, that means an empty string variable
could never be set successfully, so GetVariable should return error for
empty string VariableName.

What to do:
1. Merge from VariablePei in SecurityPkg to VariablePei in MdeModulePkg.
Why to do:
1. Remove code duplication and reduce maintenance effort.
The code logic of VariablePei in SecurityPkg is same with VariablePei
in MdeModulePkg.

2. Add MODULE_UNI_FILE file that contains the localized Abstract and Description of a module.
a. Addresses an information gap between INF files and the UEFI Distribution Packaging Specification XML schema
b. There will be an associated update to UPT in BaseTools to consume MODULE_UNI_FILE and associated UNI file during UDP creation that performs the INF -> XML conversion.
c. There will be an associated update to UPT in BaseTools to produce MODULE_UNI_FILE and associated UNI file during UDP installation that performs the XML -> INF conversion.
3. Add Module Extra UNI file that provides the localized Name of a module.
a. [UserExtensions.TianoCore."ExtraFiles"] provides an easy method for a module to specify extra files not listed in [Sources] or [Binaries] sections to be added to a UDP without having to list the files in the UPT package information data file.
b. There will be an associated update to UPT in BaseTools to package up files listed in [UserExtensions.TianoCore."ExtraFiles"] during UDP creation.
c. UNI file contains localized name of a module to go along with the localized Abstract and Description from the MODULE_UNI_FILE.

PEI variable implementation checks only the variable header signature for validity. This does not seem robust if system crash occurred during previous Reclaim() operation. If the crash occurred while FTW was rewriting the variable FV, the signature could be valid even though the rest of the FV isn't valid.
Solution: Add a FaultTolerantWritePei driver to check and provide the FTW last write status, then PEI variable and early phase(before FTW protocol ready) of DXE variable can check the status and determine if all or partial variable data has been backed up in spare block, and then use the backed up data.

The Variable PEI and RuntimeDxe drivers were using the attribute 'HeaderLength' of
EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_HEADER without checking if a Firmware Volume Header was existing at
the base address.
In case the Firmware Volume Header does not exist or is corrupted, the attribute 'HeaderLength'
is a non valid value that can lead to a non valid physical address when accessing produces an
access error.

1. record the distance of two neighboring VAR_ADDED type variables rather than the offset of each variable. As the field recording this info is UINT16 width, the latter causes in IA32/X64 platform, it can only cache those variables from offset 0 to offset 2^16; in IPF platform, from offset 0 to offset 2^18(extend the scope by left-shift the offset two bits).
when taking the former algorithm, the max range of caching variable is from offset 0 to offset 122*(2^16)

[Root Cause]
The root cause is that in FindVariable function, original code logic will traverse all variable stored in variable volatile/non-volatile area. If the non-variable area is full and Linux sets a new variable, the caller of GetNextVariablePtr will get the address of next memory block, but this block doesn't be reserved as RUNTIME attribute. Therefore its corresponding page translation table doesn't exist and causes linux kernel panic.
Note that, Variable Pei driver has not such issue as the flash area is accessed in pre-os environment.All page table entries are filled. The access to next memory block will not cause such issue.

5. modify FDF files to use new guid value instead of the original signature.
6. all code related to signature is changed to use guid value.
