OvmfPkg: Create GHCB pages for use during Pei and Dxe phase

BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2198



Allocate memory for the GHCB pages and the per-CPU variable pages during
SEV initialization for use during Pei and Dxe phases. The GHCB page(s)
must be shared pages, so clear the encryption mask from the current page
table entries. Upon successful allocation, set the GHCB PCDs (PcdGhcbBase
and PcdGhcbSize).

The per-CPU variable page needs to be unique per AP. Using the page after
the GHCB ensures that it is unique per AP. Only the GHCB page is marked as
shared, keeping the per-CPU variable page encyrpted. The same logic is
used in DXE using CreateIdentityMappingPageTables() before switching to
the DXE pagetables.

The GHCB pages (one per vCPU) will be used by the PEI and DXE #VC
exception handlers. The #VC exception handler will fill in the necessary
fields of the GHCB and exit to the hypervisor using the VMGEXIT
instruction. The hypervisor then accesses the GHCB associated with the
vCPU in order to perform the requested function.
