OvmfPkg/AcpiPlatformDxe: replay QEMU_LOADER_WRITE_POINTER commands at S3

Ultimately, each QEMU_LOADER_WRITE_POINTER command creates a guest memory
reference in some QEMU device. When the virtual machine is reset, the
device willfully forgets the guest address, since the guest memory is
wholly invalidated during platform reset.

... Unless the reset is part of S3 resume. Then the guest memory is
preserved intact, and the firmware must reprogram those devices with the
original guest memory allocation addresses.

This patch accumulates the fw_cfg select, skip and write operations of
ProcessCmdWritePointer() in a validated / condensed form, and turns them
into an ACPI S3 Boot Script fragment at the very end of
InstallQemuFwCfgTables().
