OvmfPkg/create-release.py: Support git hash versions

Previously we would run 'git svn info' if a .svn directory
wasn't found. This would fail if the current local commit
was not from git-svn.

Now we look for the svn info in the output from git log.
If the svn version is not in a git-svn-id tag from
git log, then we use the git commit hash.

OvmfPkg: QemuFwCfgLib: introduce InternalQemuFwCfgIsAvailable()

This internal function allows separation of library-internal and
for-clients external availability of fw_cfg.

The interface contract of QemuFwCfgIsAvailable() is changed so that now it
may modify fw_cfg state. All current users are compliant with the new
contract.

OvmfPkg: QemuFwCfgLib: extract stateful implementation

The current implementation of QemuFwCfgLib is:
- stateful
- implicitly initialized in the library constructor.

OVMF's SEC runs from read-only memory/flash. When the library is linked
into a SEC binary (which currently never happens), the
"mQemuFwCfgSupported" global variable becomes read-only, making the
library non-functional.

Extract the stateful, implicitly initialized library implementation into a
separate file, making room for a stateless, explicitly queried
implementation that's usable in SEC. Restrict the stateful implementation
to the current, non-SEC clients.

OvmfPkg: QemuFwCfgLib: implement for SEC

The QemuFwCfgSecLib library instance
- is stateless,
- has no library constructor,
- is available to SEC client code,
- must be queried with QemuFwCfgIsAvailable() before use,
- is restricted to SEC in order to limit the explicit querying
  requirement. (There is no current user.)
