Sorry for not commenting on this earlier.

Would it be better to have people use the build `--pcd` option instead? e.g. build --pcd="gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFirmwareVersionString=edk2-stable202302".

ArmVirtXen.dsc allows setting the firmware version
string in gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFirmwareVersionString
via FIRMWARE_VER variable conveniently on the build command line.

These two patches add this behavior to all .dsc files in ArmVirtPkg
and OvmfPkg.

PR: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/4268

v4:
- Actually use the include file

v3:
- Introduce common include file for OVMF .dsc files

v2:
Address comments by Sami and Gerd:
- Only set PCD if FIRMWARE_VER is defined
- ArmVirt: move logic to ArmVirt.dsc.inc
