OvmfPkg: introduce gRootBridgesConnectedEventGroupGuid

QEMU's ACPI table generator can only create meaningful _CRS objects --
apertures -- for the root buses if all of the PCI devices behind those
buses are actively decoding their IO and MMIO resources, at the time of
the firmware fetching the "etc/table-loader" fw_cfg file. This is not a
QEMU error; QEMU follows the definition of BARs (which are meaningless
when decoding is disabled).

Currently we hook up AcpiPlatformDxe to the PCI Bus driver's
gEfiPciEnumerationCompleteProtocolGuid cue. Unfortunately, when the PCI
Bus driver installs this protocol, it's *still* not the right time for
fetching "etc/table-loader": although resources have been allocated and
BARs have been programmed with them, the PCI Bus driver has also cleared
IO and MMIO decoding in the command registers of the devices.

Furthermore, we couldn't reenable IO and MMIO decoding temporarily in our
gEfiPciEnumerationCompleteProtocolGuid callback even if we wanted to,
because at that time the PCI Bus driver has not produced PciIo instances
yet.

Our Platform BDSes are responsible for connecting the root bridges, hence
they know exactly when the PciIo instances become available -- not when
PCI enumeration completes (signaled by the above protocol), but when the
ConnectController() calls return.

This is when our Platform BDSes should explicitly cue in AcpiPlatformDxe.
Then AcpiPlatformDxe can temporarily enable IO and MMIO decoding for all
devices, while it contacts QEMU for the ACPI payload.

This patch introduces the event group GUID that we'll use for unleashing
AcpiPlatformDxe from our Platform BDSes.
