edk2: update to git snapshot (maybe for-8.2)

This updates edk2 to git master as of today.  This picks up a patch
(merged only yesterday, that's why this last-minute PR) which allows to
work around a bug in shim, and enables that workaround in the qemu
firmware builds.

This solves a real-world problem on arm hardware, walk over to
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1990 to see the details.

Merging this firmware update that close to the 8.2 release clearly is
not without risks.  If I get a 'no', I'm not going to complain.

That said I'm not aware of any bugs, and landing this in 8.2.0 would
make a bunch of folks hanging around in issue 1990 very happy.

Alternative plan would be to merge this after the release, give it some
time for testing, and assuming everything goes well schedule a backport
for 8.2.1
