Laszlo Ersek 7ab26d5180 EmbeddedPkg: introduce NvVarStoreFormattedLib
Some platforms don't format a variable store template at build time;
instead they format the non-volatile varstore flash chip during boot,
dynamically. Introduce NvVarStoreFormattedLib to enable such platforms to
delay the "variable read" service drivers until the platform specific
module(s) report that the variable store has been formatted.

The platform-specific module that performs the formatting during startup
is usually an FVB or MM FVB driver. Under the proposed scheme, it becomes
responsible for installing gEdkiiNvVarStoreFormattedGuid with a NULL
interface in the protocol database. In turn, the platform DSC will hook
NvVarStoreFormattedLib into the variable service driver, to make the
latter wait for the FVB driver. Platforms that need not delay the variable
service driver like this may still use the same FVB driver;
gEdkiiNvVarStoreFormattedGuid will simply be ignored.
