From: Min M Xu <min.m.xu@intel.com>
BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4237
The QEMU_ACPI_TABLE_NOTIFY_PROTOCOL structure is superfluous because NULL
protocol interfaces have been used in edk2 repeatedly. A protocol instance
can exist in the protocol database with a NULL associated interface.
Therefore the QEMU_ACPI_TABLE_NOTIFY_PROTOCOL type, the
"QemuAcpiTableNotify.h" header, and the "mAcpiNotifyProtocol" global
variable can be removed.
