This option is added to disable the include path check
for outside of package.
The original purpose of thie check is to make sure EDK II
modules must not reference header files outside of the packages
they depend on or within the module's directory tree.
However, we do see the usage to build EDKII as executable running
in the operating system which requires include path to outside.
For example, EmulatorPkg. The current solution (soft link) is
weird hack - EmulatorPkg\Unix\Host\X11IncludeHack.
With this solution, this can be supported easily.
The patch is validated with and without --disable-include-path-check.
If user does not use --disable-include-path-check, the build will fail
with outside path in the include path.
If user uses --disable-include-path-check, the build will pass

Compiler cache can greatly improve the build performance and
guarantee the build result safe. In our testing, the compiler
cache can improve the overall clean build time usually by 30+%
in linux and 10+% in windows. The compiler cache are very fit
to improve the Continuous Integration (CI) build performance.
For linux compiler cache (ccache) enabling, there is no need
to update edk2 code.
Below link has the ccache enabling referencd steps:
https://github.com/shijunjing/edk2/wiki/
Edk2-compiler-cache-enabling-steps-on-Linux
For windows compiler cache (clcache) enabling, we need update
the .PDB debugging file producing option from /Zi to /Z7,
which is to let the C object file contain its full symbolic
debugging information rather than produces a separated PDB file
for all obj files per folder. "PDB files are generated by a different
process (mspdbsrv). They arrive or are updated on disk after
cl completes a compilation or linking operation. One huge problem
with caching them is that the pdb files are input files as well as
outputs. mspdbsrv updates the file with new debug information if
the file exists beforehand. If there are several compilations going
on at once targetting the same pdb then the order the pdb gets
updated is unpredictable. All this makes caching very hard."
The /Zi issue more detail disccusion can be found:
https://github.com/frerich/clcache/issues/30
Please be aware that this change has no any impact to edk2 module
level PDB file generation, and we still can get the PDB debug file
for a .efi module. The /Z7 only impact intermediate obj files level
PDB file, which is current one PDB file (vc140.pdb) per obj folder.

In a system implementing the variable store in MM, there are no variable
arch protocol and variable write arch protocol installed into the
DXE_SMM protocol database. On such systems, it is not required to
locate these protocols by the DXE runtime variable drivers because
it can be assumed that these protocols are already installed in the
MM context. But then such an implementation will deviate from the
existing traditional MM based variable driver implementation.
So in order to maintain consistency with the traditional MM variable
driver implementation, allow platforms to install these protocols into
the DXE protocol database but these protocol will not be consumed
by non-secure variable service runtime driver.
The Platform which uses StandaloneMM based secure variable storage
have to include this library
