Kinney, Michael D aedd1559cc BaseTools/BinToPcd: Add support for multiple binary input files
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=890

There are use cases where a VOID * PCD needs to be generated from multiple
binary input files.  This can be in the form of an array of fixed size
elements or a set of variable sized elements.

Update BinToPcd to support multiple one or more -i INPUTFILE arguments.
By default, the contents of each binary input file are concatenated in
the order provided.  This supports generating a PCD that is an array of
fixed size elements

Add -x, --xdr flags to BinToPcd  to encodes the PCD using the
Variable-Length Opaque Data of RFC 4506 External Data Representation
Standard (XDR).

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4506
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4506#section-4.10

The data format from RFC 4506 meets the requirements for a PCD that is a
set of variable sized elements in the Variable-Length Opaque Data format.
The overhead of this format is a 32-bit length and 0 to 3 bytes of padding
to align the next element at a 32-bit boundary.
