[PATCH v2 0/8] Add Variable Flash Info HOB

["Michael Kubacki" <mikuback@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Michael Kubacki <michael.kubacki@microsoft.com>

REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3479

The UEFI variable drivers such as VariableRuntimeDxe, VariableSmm,
VariableStandaloneMm, etc. (and their dependent protocol/library
stack), typically acquire UEFI variable store flash information
with PCDs declared in MdeModulePkg.

For example:
[Pcd]
  gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase
  gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableBase64
  gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFlashNvStorageVariableSize

These PCDs work as-is in the StandaloneMm driver if they are not
dynamic such as Dynamic or DynamicEx because PCD services are not
readily available in the Standalone MM environment. Platforms that
use Standalone MM today, must define these PCDs as FixedAtBuild in
their platform build. However, the PCDs do allow platforms to treat
the PCDs as Dynamic/DynamicEx and being able to support that is
currently a gap for Standalone MM.

This patch series introduces a HOB that can be produced by the
platform to provide the same information. The HOB list is
available to Standalone MM.

The PCD declarations are left as-is in MdeModulePkg for backward
compatibility. This means unless a platform wants to use the HOB,
their code will continue to work with no change (they do not need
to produce the HOB). Only if the HOB is found, is its value used
instead of the PCDs.

Due to the large number of consumers of this information, access
to the base address and size values is abstracted in a new library
class (as requested in the v1 series) called VariableFlashInfoLib.

The API of VariableFlashInfoLib does not bind the underlying data
structure to the information returned to library users to allow
flexibility in the library implementation in the future.

V2 changes:
1. Abstracted flash info data access with VariableFlashInfoLib.
2. Updated package builds in the repo that build the variable and
   FTW drivers to include VariableFlashInfoLib.
3. Removed a redundant variable assignment in VariableSmm.c.
4. Updated comments in FtwMisc.c and FaultTolerantWritePei.c to
   indicate driver assumption is UINTN (not UINT32)
5. Added a version field to the VARIABLE_FLASH_INFO structure.
