This PR implements a mechanism to read settings from a config file, in addition to the EFI arguments.

  • By default the config file is read from EFI\Boot\bareflank.cfg but it can be changed at compile time with EFI_CONFIG_FILE_PATH
  • Read arguments from bareflank.cfg if the file exists and if none were given from the shell cmdline (i.e. argv/argc)
  • Ignore lines starting with # and whitespaces. Use the same format as with the command line, e.g. --enable-xue to build argv / argc
  • Add an option to passthrough all PCIe devices of a certain class, e.g. --pci-pt-class 2 for network, and don't passthrough by default.
  • Add an option to passthrough explicitly a PCIe device, e.g. --pci-pt <bdf>

- Fix the bfdriver common code that uses BF{INFO,DEBUG,ALERT,ERROR} to
print ASCII messages from EFI

- Use our API instead of Print directly for EFI specific code
If no args are given to bareflank.efi directly, they will be read from
`EFI\bareflank\bareflank.cfg`.

Lines starting with `#` are comments.
Newlines and tabs are supported.
Currently, only network devices (class 2) are supported.
Instead of passthrough by default, we now need to specify the
`--pci-pt-class 2` argument.
