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.

Notes:
v3:
- added license to generate_elf_header.c
which is renamed to OvmfPkg/OvmfXenElfHeaderGenerator.c
- added an ELF NOTE into the header
