Add python script that recursively scans a directory for EDK II
packages and generates GraphViz dot input that is used to render
a graph of package dependencies in SVG format.

Detects following error/warning conditions:
* Ambiguous dependencies (multiple matches)
* Unresolved dependencies
* Circular dependencies
* Nested packages

This patch is available for review at the following branch:

https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/tree/Bug_2161_PackageDependencyGraph

A proposed update to the EDK II Packages wiki page that adds details on 
package dependency rules that this tool can help to visualize and resolve
issues.

https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/wiki/EDKII-Packages

A new wiki page with graphs from the current EDK II repos and instructions
on how to use this new script to generate the graphs.  Complex graphs can be
saved locally and viewed with an SVG viewer.
