EDK2 firmware: Adopt the edk2-stable202008 release

Note from Laszlo Ersek [1] while addressing LP#1852196 [2]:

Consume the following upstream edk2 releases:

  https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable201908
  https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable201911
  https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable202002
  https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable202005
  https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable202008

Worth mentioning (in random order):

- various CVE fixes (see [2] and shortlog)
- OpenSSL-1.1.1g
- UEFI HTTPS Boot for ARM/AARCH64
- TPM2 for ARM/AARCH64
- VCPU hotplug with SMI
- support for Linux v5.7+ initrd and mixed mode loading
- Fusion-MPT SCSI driver in OVMF
- VMware PVSCSI driver in OVMF
- PXEv4 / PXEv6 boot possible to disable on the QEMU command line
- SEV-ES support

The IA32 and X64 binaries are now smaller -- the reason is that Laszlo
built them with DevToolSet 9 (gcc-9) on RHEL7, and so this is the first
time they've undergone LTO (with the GCC5 edk2 toolchain settings).

firmware (and crypto) patches

- add the tls-cipher-suites object,
- add the ability to QOM objects to produce data consumable
  by the fw_cfg device,
- let the tls-cipher-suites object implement the
  FW_CFG_DATA_GENERATOR interface.

This is required by EDK2 'HTTPS Boot' feature of OVMF to tell
the guest which TLS ciphers it can use.
