Michael Kubacki bff9815b61 BaseTools/GenFds: Resolve absolute workspace INF paths
Currently, if an INF path is an absolute path on Linux (begins with
"/"), the "/" character will be removed. If the path is an absolute
system path, this creates an invalid path.

An example of when this may be an issue is in external dependencies
where an INF is within the external dependency, the `set_build_var`
flag is set, and DSC files refer to files by its build variable
(e.g. `$(SHARED_BINARIES)/Module.inf`). INFs in a binary distribution
like this example may contain a [Binaries] section and refer to
different section files that can be used by a platform to compose an
FFS file. For example, the PE32 (.efi) and DEPEX (.depex) files.

In this case, `$(SHARED_BINARIES)` will be an absolute path to the
ext dep directory and `FfsInfStatement.__InfParse__` will remove the
leading "/" character so the path is invalid.

This change first checks if the absolute path will resolve into the
current workspace. If it does (as will happen in the shared crypto
ext dep example above), it modifies the path to be relative to the
workspace so later logic dependent on relative paths can operate on
it. If the absolute path is not within the current workspace, it
follows previous behavior for backward compatibility to that
scenario.

  Note: New build instructions are available. It is recommended to start with
  the new instructions if learning how to build edk2 and/or BaseTools for the
  first time. This page is retained for reference.

New instructions: `Build Instructions`_

.. _`Build Instructions`: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Build-Instructions

This directory contains the EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems are located in the Bin\\Win32 directory, other
directory contains tools source.

Build step to generate the binary tools
---------------------------------------

Windows/Visual Studio Notes
===========================

To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script
from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat
to use latest automatically detected version.

In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables::

 * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
 * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
   (It is the same directory where this README.rst is located.)

After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
directory as this file.  It should setup the remainder of the environment,
and build the tools if necessary.

Unix-like operating systems
===========================

To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type ``make`` in
the base directory of the project.

Ubuntu Notes
============

On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
packages to build all the C BaseTools::

 sudo apt install build-essential uuid-dev
