Subject: [PATCH 2/2] BaseTools: Work around array.array.tostring() removal in python 3.9

In python3, array.array.tostring() was a compat alias for tobytes().
tostring() was removed in python 3.9.

Convert this to use tolist() which should be valid for all python versions.

This fixes this build error on python3.9:
