The RPi4 has a SPI flash with unused capacity. This set detects if
that capacity is sufficient for a UEFI variable store and utilizes
it as such. This fixes a long list of problems, and along the way likely
also fixes a random boot failure caused by the FaultTolerantWriteDxe
garbage collecting, and erasing the flash volume header which is being
used to return information about the underlying variable storage capacity.

This set was dependent on an earlier, mostly ignored set of changes to
move the GPIO/etc devices into their own SSDT and disable them. Because
of that, the two sets have been merged.

Why is that? Because the SPI flash is mux'ed with the PWM used to play
audio out the 3.5mm audio jack on this device. This causes a long list
of problems we must try and avoid, starting with the fact that the pins
need to be controlled by the uefi runtime service. The other problem is
obviously that any time a variable is updated, if the user is utilizing
the 3.5mm audio they will hear clicks and pops. Turns out that behavior
isn't unique to this patch set because the low level boot/etc exhibits this
when running in a TFA+uboot/edk2 environment. A fairly small tweak to TFA
fixes the majority of this, and the remaining runtime problems caused
by this patch actually are very slight and generally not noticeable unless
one goes looking for them. OTOH, we revert to the earlier non persisted
variable store if the firmware is running in a DT only mode, or the
user enables the ACPI GPIO block.

V1->V2:
  Move Rhpx.asl into GPIO SSDT, this fixes a windows problem if the
    GPIO description is removed.
  Add longer explanation to Readme.md as well as update it to note
    CM4/RPi400, newer menu item variables, etc.
  Various code cleanups caught by updated PatchCheck
  More agressive ifdef'ing out RPi4 only code for RPi3
