The EFI properties table is broken by design, deprecated, and seems to be causing confusion as it is unclear to some how it differs from the memory attributes table (which supersedes it). So let's get rid of the code that generates it entirely, along with the GUID definitions, PCDs etc.
Due to how the two implementations are intertwined, patch #2 makes the minimal changes required to stop producing the table (and to allow patch #3 to remove the associated definitions from MdePkg). Patch #4 is optional and merges the code together.
