Linux panic if the VGA region isn't reserved.
When Linux is booted on EFI system, it expects the memory at 0xa0000 to
_not_ be conventional memory. Otherwise a variable isn't initialised
properly and Linux panic when a virtual console/terminal is asked to be
created.

When running as a Xen PVH guest, there is no CMOS to read the memory
size from. Rework GetSystemMemorySize(Below|Above)4gb() so they can
work without CMOS by reading the e820 table.
Rework XenPublishRamRegions to also care for the reserved and ACPI
entry in the e820 table. The region that was added by InitializeXen()
isn't needed as that same entry is in the e820 table provided by
hvmloader.
MTRR settings aren't modified anymore, on HVM it's already done by
hvmloader, on PVH it is supposed to have sane default. MTRR will need
to be done properly but keeping what's already been done by programs
that have run before OVMF will do for now.

When the Xen PVH entry point has been used, hvmloader hasn't run and
hasn't prepared an E820 table. The only way left to get an E820 table
is to ask Xen via an hypercall. We keep the result cached to avoid
making a second hypercall which would give the same result.

We are going to need to make an hypercall in order to retreive the E820
table from the hypervisor before been able to setup the memory.
Calling XenConnect earlier will allow to setup the XenHypercallLib
earlier to allow to make hypercalls.
While here, add some comments in XenConnect().

The XenPlatformPei needs to make hypercalls, but the XenHypercallLib was
initialised before the HyperPage was ready. Now that XenPlatformPei has
initialised the HyperPage, reinitialise the XenHypercallLib.

EFI_XEN_OVMF_INFO is only useful to retrieve the E820 table. The
mXenHvmloaderInfo isn't used yet, but will be use in a further patch to
retrieve the E820 table.
Also remove the unused pointer from the XenInfo HOB as that information
is only useful in the XenPlatformPei.

Introduce XenPlatformPei, a copy of OvmfPkg/PlatformPei without some
of QEMU specific initialization, Xen does not support QemuFwCfg.
This new module will be adjusted to accommodate Xen PVH.
fw_cfg dependents that have been removed, which are dynamically skipped
when running PlatformPei on Xen:
- GetFirstNonAddress(): controlling the 64-bit PCI MMIO aperture via the
(experimental) "opt/ovmf/X-PciMmio64Mb" file
- GetFirstNonAddress(): honoring the hotplug DIMM area
("etc/reserved-memory-end") in the placement of the 64-bit PCI MMIO
aperture
- NoexecDxeInitialization() is removed, so PcdPropertiesTableEnable and
PcdSetNxForStack are left constant FALSE (not set dynamically from
fw_cfg "opt/ovmf/PcdXxxx")
- MaxCpuCountInitialization(), PublishPeiMemory(): the max CPU count is
not taken from the QemuFwCfgItemSmpCpuCount fw_cfg key;
PcdCpuMaxLogicalProcessorNumber is used intact and
PcdCpuApInitTimeOutInMicroSeconds is never changed or used.
- InitializeXenPlatform(), S3Verification(): S3 is assumed disabled (not
consulting "etc/system-states" via QemuFwCfgS3Enabled()).
- InstallFeatureControlCallback(): the feature control MSR is not set
from "etc/msr_feature_control"
(also removed FeatureControl.c as there is nothing been executed)
Also removed:
- SMRAM/TSEG-related low mem size adjusting (PcdSmmSmramRequire is
assumed FALSE) in PublishPeiMemory(),
- QemuInitializeRam() entirely,
Xen related changes:
- Have removed the module variable mXen, as it should be always true.
- Have the platform PEI initialization fails if Xen has not been
detected.
