Current reset vector uses 0xffffffe0 as AP waking vector, and expects
GenFv generates code aligned on a 4k boundary which will jump to this
location. However, some issues are listed below
1. GenFV doesn't generate code as the comment expects, because GenFv
assumes no modifications are required to the VTF-0 'Volume Top File'.
2. Even if removing VFT0 signature and let GenFv to modify, Genfv is
hard-code using another flash address 0xffffffd0.
3. In the same patch series, AP waking vector code is removed from
GenFv, because no such usage anymore. The existing of first two issues
also approve the usage is not available for a long time.
Therefore, remove AP waking vector related code.

This patch allows the ResetVector to be run indenpendently from build
time addresses.
The goal of the patch is to avoid having to create RAM just below 4G
when creating a Xen PVH guest while being compatible with the way
hvmloader currently load OVMF, just below 4G.
Only the new PVH entry point will do the calculation.
The ResetVector will figure out its current running address by creating
a temporary stack, make a call and calculate the difference between the
build time address and the address at run time.
This patch copies and make the necessary modification to some other asm
files:
- copy of UefiCpuPkg/.../Flat32ToFlat64.asm:
Allow Transition32FlatTo64Flat to be run from anywhere in memory
- copy of UefiCpuPkg/../SearchForBfvBase.asm:
Add a extra parameter to indicate where to start the search for the
boot firmware volume.

Add a new entry point for Xen PVH that enter directly in 32bits.
Information on the expected state of the machine when this entry point
is used can be found at:
https://xenbits.xenproject.org/docs/unstable/misc/pvh.html
Also, compare to the original file [1], the two `nop' of the "resetVector"
entry point are removed. There were introduced by 8332983e2e
("UefiCpuPkg: Replace the un-necessary WBINVD instruction at the reset
vector with two NOPs in VTF0.", 2011-08-04), but don't seems to be
useful. This is the entry point used by HVM guest (hvmloader).

Introduce XenResetVector, a copy of OvmfPkg/ResetVector, with one
changes:
- SEC_DEFAULT_CR0: enable cache (bit 30 or CD set to 0)
Xen copies the OVMF code to RAM, there is no need to disable cache.
This new module will later be modified to add a new entry point, more
detail in a following commit "OvmfPkg/XenResetVector: Add new entry point
for Xen PVH"
Value FILE_GUID of XenResetVector have not changed compare to ResetVector
because it is a special value (gEfiFirmwareVolumeTopFileGuid).
