BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3974

CcProbeLib once was designed to probe the Confidential Computing guest
type by checking the PcdOvmfWorkArea. But this memory is allocated with
either EfiACPIMemoryNVS or EfiBootServicesData. It cannot be accessed
after ExitBootService. Please see the detailed analysis in BZ#3974.

To fix this issue, CcProbeLib is re-designed as 2 implementation:
 - SecPeiCcProbeLib
 - DxeCcProbeLib

In SecPeiCcProbeLib we check the CC guest type by reading the
PcdOvmfWorkArea. Because it is used in SEC / PEI and we don't worry about
the issues in BZ#3974.

In DxeCcProbeLib we cache the GuestType in Ovmf work area in a global
variable. After that the Guest type is returned with the cached value.
So that we don't need to worry about the access to Ovmf work area after
ExitBootService.

The reason why we probe CC guest type in 2 different ways is the global
variable. Global variable cannot be used in SEC/PEI and CcProbe is called
very frequently.

Code: https://github.com/mxu9/edk2/tree/CcProbeLib.BZ3974.v4

v5 changes:
 - Fix typos in commit message.
 - No other changes in code.

v4 changes:
 - Read Cc guest type in both DxeCcProbeLib's constructor and CcProbe. So
   that we guarantee the Cc guest type is read early enough.

v3 changes:
 - Re-design CcProbeLib to 2 implementation: SecPeiCcProbeLib and
   DxeCcProbeLib. The difference between the 2 implementation is the
   cache of the CcGuestType.

v2 changes:
 - Reserve Ovmf work-area as RT_DATA. See
