[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 04/10] configs/aarch64_efi_defconfig: build the EDK2 firmware from source

Dick Olsson hi at senzilla.io

Prior to this, you had to manually download a pre-built EDK2 flash
device image (QEMU_EFI.fd) in order to boot this configuration with
QEMU. Now, the configuration is building EDK2 from source.

Revision 4:

 * Addressed review items from Yann E. MORIN
 * Simplified resizing of the flash images with the trucate command

Revision 3:

 * post-image.sh will now provide resized flash devices
 * readme.txt suggests pflash instead of bios

Revision 2:

 * Explicitly added the default EDK2 platform to defconfig
