Laszlo Ersek 35dd574a24 OvmfPkg/PlatformDxe: fix EFI_HII_HANDLE parameters of internal functions
In the following call tree:

 PlatformInit ()
   mInstalledPackages = HiiAddPackages ()
 GopInstalled ()
    PopulateForm (PackageList = mInstalledPackages)
      CreateResolutionOptions (PackageList)
        HiiSetString (PackageList
      HiiUpdateForm (PackageList)

PlatformDxe passes around an EFI_HII_HANDLE that (a) originates from
HiiAddPackages() and (b) is ultimately passed to HiiSetString() and
HiiUpdateForm(). The intermediate functions PopulateForm() and
CreateResolutionOptions() however take that parameter as an
(EFI_HII_HANDLE*).

There is no bug in practice (because the affected functions never try to
de-reference the "PackageList" parameter, they just pass it on), but the
function prototypes are semantically wrong. Fix that.

This could remain hidden so long because pointer-to-VOID silently converts
to/from any pointer-to-object type, and the UEFI spec mandates that
EFI_HII_HANDLE be a typedef to (VOID*).
