Fan, Zhiju 3a3a3af4a2 BaseTools:Add the spare space FV image size checker
REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2654

If FV is placed in FD region, its FV image size is fixed.
When FV image size exceeds it, it will trig the build break.
To alert the developer to adjust FV image size earlier,
I request to add new checker for the the spare FV space.
When the spare FV space is less than the specified threshold,
build tool will report the error.

This checker is the optional.
It can be enabled by -D FV_SPARE_SPACE_THRESHOLD=10000.
Macro is the value of the spare space threshold size.
It can be decimal or hex format. If it is enabled,
BaseTools will check every FV with the fixed size.
If FV doesn't meet with the size requirement,
Build tool will report error message to say there is no
enough spare space.

This file contains invisible Unicode characters

This file contains invisible Unicode characters that are indistinguishable to humans but may be processed differently by a computer. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other
directory contains tools source.

1. 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.txt 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.

Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
building under Windows.

=== 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-get install build-essential uuid-dev

=== Python sqlite3 module ===
On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen
binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe).
Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.

The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
