The Debian (based) distributions currently provides 2 ARM
toolchains, documented as [1]:
* The ARM EABI (armel) port targets a range of older 32-bit ARM
devices, particularly those used in NAS hardware and a variety
of *plug computers.
* The newer ARM hard-float (armhf) port supports newer, more
powerful 32-bit devices using version 7 of the ARM architecture
specification.
For various reasons documented in [2], the EDK2 project suggests
to use the softfloat toolchain (named 'armel' by Debian).
Force the softfloat cross toolchain prefix on Debian distributions.

It turns out that forcing python2 for running the edk2 "build" utility is
neither necessary nor sufficient.
Forcing python2 is not sufficient for two reasons:
- QEMU is moving away from python2, with python2 nearing EOL,
- according to my most recent testing, the lacking dependency information
in the makefiles that are generated by edk2's "build" utility can cause
parallel build failures even when "build" is executed by python2.
And forcing python2 is not necessary because we can still return to the
original idea of filtering out jobserver-related options from MAKEFLAGS.
So do that.
While at it, cut short edk2's auto-detection of the python3.* minor
version, by setting PYTHON_COMMAND to "python3" (which we expect to be
available wherever we intend to build edk2).
With this patch, the guest UEFI binaries that are used as part of the BIOS
tables test, and the OVMF and ArmVirtQemu platform firmwares, will be
built strictly in a single job, regardless of an outermost "-jN" make
option. Alas, there appears to be no reliable way to build edk2 in an
(outer make, inner make) environment, with a jobserver enabled.

The edk2 "build" utility natively supports building modules (that is, INF
files) in parallel. The feature is not useful when building a single
module (with the "-m" option), but it is useful for platform firmware
builds (which include many modules). Add a function that determines the
"-n" option argument for "build", from the MAKEFLAGS variable (i.e. based
on the presence of a make job server).

Extract the dense logic for architecture and toolchain massaging from
"tests/uefi-test-tools/build.sh", to a set of small functions. We'll reuse
these functions for building full platform firmware images.
