[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 06/11] configs/pc_x86_64_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 (OVMF_CODE.fd) in order to boot this configuration with
QEMU. Now, the configuration is building EDK2 from source.
