This unifies the behavior between Visual Studio and Mingw-w64.

Adds support for building the C language BaseTools for Windows using
toolchains based on mingw-w64.
Mingw-w64 is a collection of header files, libraries, and tools that
when combined with a compiler enable development of Windows software.
Mingw-w64 is a fork of the original MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows).
Most active development on MinGW has ceased and mingw-w64 is now the
actively maintained successor. Mingw-w64 provides a libc implementation
built on top of Microsoft's UCRT (Universal C Runtime) with all
nessesary compiler bindings needed to support the C++11 feature set.
Modern mingw-w64 development appears to have coalesced around MSYS2,
which produces a distributions of both GCC and LLVM/Clang that use
mingw-w64 to target the Windows OS. This MSYS2 Clang distribution has a
UNIX-like directory layout and includes Windows binaries of GNU Make.
Combined with the open source licensing, MSYS2's Clang distribution is a
highly attractive choice as an alternative Windows SDK for open source
projects such as TianoCore.
If one wishes to use EDK II to build UEFI firmware on the Windows
platform, then the C BaseTools need to be compiled as Windows
applications. This includes the PcdValueInit.exe program, which needs
to be recompiled every time a firmware build is run in order to
regenerate the initial values for structured PCDs. Currently, BaseTools
only supports the Visual C++ toolchain on the Windows platform. The
following new features have been added to enable usage of the toolchains
derived from mingw-w64:
- Fixes to the BaseTools C source code to support the use of a
GCC-style compiler on the Windows OS.
- The GNU Make-style Makefiles for the C BaseTools have been modified
to support Windows. Both GCC + mingw-w64 and Clang + mingw-w64 have
been tested and confirmed to build a working BaseTools.
- BaseTools now supports generating GNU Make-style Makefiles on the
Windows platform for the purpose of building firmware.
- edksetup.bat has been modified to optionally build BaseTools via
mingw-w64. There is no impact to the existing support for Visual C++
and Visual C++ remains the default toolchain.
Usage Instructions:
For the vast majority of users, the only system setup change nessesary
to use a mingw-w64 toolchain is to set the BASETOOLS_MINGW_PATH to the
directory containing the desired mingw-w64 based toolchain.
A new command line argument has been added to edksetup.bat: Mingw-w64
If this command line argument is set, then the script will set the
BASETOOLS_MINGW_BUILD environment variable. The user can also opt to set
this environment variable manually before running edksetup.bat
If BASETOOLS_MINGW_BUILD is defined, then the BASETOOLS_MINGW_PATH
environment variable must point to the directory containing the
mingw-w64 toolchain.
If CLANG_BIN is not defined and %BASETOOLS_MINGW_PATH%\bin\clang.exe
exists, then edksetup.bat will set CLANG_BIN=%BASETOOLS_MINGW_PATH%\bin\
This removes the requirement to configure the CLANG_BIN environment
variable manually in order to run a CLANGPDB or CLANGDWARF build if one
has the MSYS2 Clang distribution installed. If one wishes to use a
different copy of Clang (for example official LLVM binaries) to build
firmware and only use the MSYS2 Clang to build BaseTools, then one can
continue to set the CLANG_BIN environment variable, same as before. I
have tested the MSYS2 Clang distribution against the official LLVM
distribution and can confirm that if the compiler version is the same
the emitted machine code is identical between the two. Interestingly,
the MSYS2 Clang distribution emits the path to the PDB file using "/" as
the path seperator instead of "\". That appears to be the only
difference in output. Therefore, using the MSYS2 Clang distribution to
compile firmware seems a reasonable choice.
If CLANG_HOST_BIN is not defined and BASETOOLS_MINGW_BUILD is defined
and %BASETOOLS_MINGW_PATH%\bin\mingw32-make.exe exists, then
edksetup.bat will add %BASETOOLS_MINGW_PATH%\bin\ to the PATH and set
CLANG_HOST_BIN=mingw32-
This enable usage of the GNU Make included in the mingw-w64 toolchain
to build firmware in addition to BaseTools. if BASETOOLS_MINGW_BUILD is
not defined, edksetup.bat will continue to set CLANG_HOST_BIN=n, which
uses nmake to build firmware. This behavior can be overridden by
manually setting the value of CLANG_HOST_BIN before executing
edksetup.bat if one wishes to use a specific Make utility for the
CLANGPDB/CLANGDWARF toolchains.

This PR updates the CI pipelines to use VS2022 instead of VS2019
as that is the latest supported VS toolchain on edk2.

BaseTools was moved out to a separate repo and consumed as a pip
module by edk2 CI. This process has not led to the desired goals
of doing so, so this patch removes the pip based BaseTools from
edk2 CI.
The original goal of moving BaseTools to a pip module was
primarily to speed up the development process, as the old edk2
mailing list was slow. However, with edk2 moving to PRs, it now
actually slows the BaseTools development process to have to do
a PR in another repo, publish the module, and then make a PR
in edk2 to consume the new BaseTools. It also holds up using
the features in a new BaseTools in other PRs.
There were other goals of moving, such as allowing projects to
use the BaseTools outside of edk2. This can still be accomplished
outside of this PR, this PR simply stops edk2 CI from using the
pip module.

Ideally behavior is like below order that can support one local build
machine, clone multiple Edk2, some of edk2 repo use old tag and
some of edk2 repo use new tag, they can both support on one machine.
1. if defined PYTHON_COMMAND only
- use PYTHON_COMMAND = user assigned
2. if not defined PYTHON_COMMAND, auto detect py -3
- use PYTHON_COMMAND = py -3
3. if defined PYTHON_COMMAND and PYTHON_HOME, use PYTHON_COMMAND
- use PYTHON_COMMAND = user assigned
4. if defined PYTHON_HOME only,
- use PYTHON_COMMAND = %PYTHON_HOME%/python.exe
SCRIPT_ERROR should return for paraent batch file to consume

The BASETOOLS_PYTHON_SOURCE environment variable is only used temporarily to
set PYTHONPATH. Since it doesn't help improve clarity, remove it.
While here, make sure we set PYTHONPATH when we're using Pip BaseTools
so that build etc. can be found.

Update toolsetup.bat and Tests/PythonTest.py to check if we're running a

BaseTools uses syntax from Python 3.6 or newer, so set that as the minimum

Since Python3 is now required, we can remove the checks for PYTHON3_ENABLE

leftover from when we supported freezing Python code.
While here, fix a couple of typos and improve error messages.

When using the in-source BaseTools, edksetup.bat will exit with an
ERRORLEVEL of 1 because the line in toolsetup.bat
"%PYTHON_COMMAND% -c "import edk2basetools" >NUL 2>NUL"
fails.
Ensure ERRORLEVEL is set to 0 when edksetup.bat or toolsetup.bat is
successfully run.
