PrmPkg: Add PlatformGuid
Adds a "platform GUID" field to the PRM ACPI table. This field
is used by a platform to uniquely identify itself such that it
can be targeted by runtime PRM module updates for that platform.
Platforms using PRM are currently required to set a unique value
for gPrmPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPrmPlatformGuid in their platform
DSC.

+### PRM Platform GUID
+**IMPORTANT**
+
+A configuration item that requires user attention is the PRM platform GUID. Each platform that uses PRM must be
+uniquely identifiable so that various instances of a PRM module can target the correct platform in PRM module updates.
+
+To apply a unique platform GUID set the following PCD to a unique value in your platform DSC file.
+ ``gPrmPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPrmPlatformGuid``
+
+The default value assigned in [PrmPkg.dec](PrmPkg/PrmPkg.dec) is zero. By design, this is an invalid value that will
+cause an ASSERT if it is not updated.

## Overview
At a high-level, PRM can be viewed from three levels of granularity:
