Anthony PERARD 1e9d6b0f98 OvmfPkg/OvmfXen: Creating an ELF header ...

This patch changes the flash device image of OvmfXen to make it look
like it's an ELF. For this, we replace the empty embedded variable store
by a binary array, which is a ELF file header.

The ELF header explain to a loader to load the binary at the address
1MB, then jump to the PVH entry point which will be created in a later
patch. The header also includes a Xen ELF note that is part of the
PVH ABI.

That patch include OvmfXenElfHeaderGenerator.c which can be use to
regenerate the ELF header, but this will be a manual step.
