Ray Ni 8ef7e222ae UefiCpuPkg/ResetVector: Add guidance of FDF ffs rule
ResetVector assembly implementation puts "ALIGN 16" in the end
to guarantee the final executable file size is multiple of 16 bytes.
Because the module uses a special GUID which guarantees it's put in
the very end of a FV, which should be also the end of the FD.
All of these (file size is multiple of 16B, and the module is put at
end of FV, FV is put at end of FD) guarantee the "JMP xxx" instruction
is at FFFF_FFF0h.

This patch updates INF file and ReadMe.txt to add guidance of FDF ffs
rule for the ResetVector.

=== HOW TO USE VTF0 ===
Add this line to your DSC [Components.IA32] or [Components.X64] section:
UefiCpuPkg/ResetVector/Vtf0/ResetVector.inf
Add this line to your FDF FV section:
INF RuleOverride=RESET_VECTOR UefiCpuPkg/ResetVector/Vtf0/ResetVector.inf
In your FDF FFS file rules sections add:
[Rule.Common.SEC.RESET_VECTOR]
FILE RAW = $(NAMED_GUID) {
RAW BIN |.bin
}
=== VTF0 Boot Flow ===
1. Transition to IA32 flat mode
2. Locate BFV (Boot Firmware Volume) by checking every 4kb boundary
3. Locate SEC image
4. X64 VTF0 transitions to X64 mode
5. Call SEC image entry point
== VTF0 SEC input parameters ==
All inputs to SEC image are register based:
EAX/RAX - Initial value of the EAX register (BIST: Built-in Self Test)
DI - 'BP': boot-strap processor, or 'AP': application processor
EBP/RBP - Pointer to the start of the Boot Firmware Volume
