[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 05/11] configs/aarch64_efi_defconfig: build the EDK2 firmware from source

[Dick Olsson]

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 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
