Implement NvVarsFileLib to save and restore non-volatile variables using a file.
This library provides an interface where variables can be saved and restored using a file in a file system accessible to the firmware. It is expected that a platform BDS library will use this library. The platform BDS implementation can decide which devices to connect and then to attempt to use for saving and restoring NV variables. git-svn-id: https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2@9272 6f19259b-4bc3-4df7-8a09-765794883524
