BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4152

In current DXE FV there are 100+ drivers. Some of the drivers are not
used in Td guest. (Such as USB support drivers, network related
drivers, etc).

>From the security perspective if a driver is not used, we should prevent
it from being loaded/started. There are 2 benefits: 
1. Reduce the attack surface
2. Improve the boot performance

So we introduce Separate-Fv which separates DXEFV into 2 FVs: DXEFV
and NCCFV. All the drivers which are not needed by a Confidential
Computing guest are moved from DXEFV to NCCFV.

When booting a CC guest only the drivers in DXEFV will be loaded and
started. For a Non-CC guest both DXEFV and NCCFV drivers will be
loaded and started.

Patch#1 updates EmbeddedPkg/PrePiLib with FFS_CHECK_SECTION_HOOK.
Patch#2 adds PCDs/GUID for NCCFV.
Patch#3 moves cc-unused drivers to NCCFV.
Patch#4 update PeilessStartupLib to find NCCFV for non-cc guest.

Code: https://github.com/mxu9/edk2/tree/Separate-Fv.v3

v3 changes:
 - Rebase the code base to 7cd55f3009.

v2 changes:
 - Move shell from DXEFV to NCCFV.
 - Wrap shell into "!if $(BUILD_SHELL) == TRUE" for consistency with
   the other ovmf build variants.
