Currently, the AcpiTableDxe memory allocator uses page based allocations,
for which the only reason seems to be that it permits the use of a memory
limit, which is necessary for ACPI 1.0 tables that need to reside in the
first 4 GB of memory.

That requirement does not exist on AArch64, and since page based allocations
are rounded up to 64 KB multiples, this wastes some memory in a way that
can easily be avoided. So let's use the existing 'mAcpiTableAllocType'
policy variable, and switch to pool allocations if it is set to
'AllocateAnyPages'

Changes since v1:
- incorporate Laszlo's review feedback
  . update description of EFI_ACPI_TABLE_LIST struct
  . avoid EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS to VOID* conversion in case AllocatePages()
    returns an error
  . put closing ) on a line by itself when using the non-condensed format
    for passing function call arguments.
  . fix error in comment text

Example output from Linux booting on ArmVirtQemu:
