Changes in V2:
  - Fixed instances where the new PPI was incorrectly reffered to as
    "EDKII PEI Variable Protocol"
  - Added OPTIONAL to the Attributes argument of GetVariable()
  - Added description of initial calling conditions to GetNextVariableName()
  - Clarified the function and format of EFI_AUTHENTICATED_VARIABLE_HOB

This patch series proposes a new architectural PPI: EDKII_PEI_VARIABLE_PPI
This PPI provides services to read and write to UEFI variables during the PEI
environment. While an implementation of this PPI does not exist yet, Intel is
working on a new implementation of the PEI variable services that includes write
support.

As this is essentially a PEI version of the EFI_SMM_VARIABLE_PROTOCOL, I don't
expect it to be immensely controversial. Regardless, before this implementation
is done, we would like to provide the community with an opportunity to provide
input the on new architectural PPI.
