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-stabe201903 release introduced Python3 support to edk2's
BaseTools; however the Python3 enablement breaks in a corner case (which
is nevertheless supported by the edk2 community), namely the in-module
parallelization that we utilize.
This is tracked under
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1607>. For now, work
around the issue (in advance) by forcing Python2. (The workaround is a
no-op before we move to edk2-stabe201903 in the roms/edk2 submodule.)

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.

Introduce the following build scripts under "tests/uefi-test-tools":
* "build.sh" builds a single module (a UEFI application) from
UefiTestToolsPkg, for a single QEMU emulation target.
"build.sh" relies on cross-compilers when the emulation target and the
build host architecture don't match. The cross-compiler prefix is
computed according to a fixed, Linux-specific pattern. No attempt is
made to copy or reimplement the GNU Make magic from "qemu/roms/Makefile"
for cross-compiler prefix determination. The reason is that the build
host OSes that are officially supported by edk2, and those that are
supported by QEMU, intersect only in Linux. (Note that the UNIXGCC
toolchain is being removed from edk2,
<https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1377>.)
* "Makefile" currently builds the "UefiTestToolsPkg/BiosTablesTest"
application, for arm, aarch64, i386, and x86_64, with the help of
"build.sh".
"Makefile" turns each resultant UEFI executable into a UEFI-bootable,
qcow2-compressed ISO image. The ISO images are output as
"tests/data/uefi-boot-images/bios-tables-test.<TARGET>.iso.qcow2".
Each ISO image should be passed to QEMU as follows:
-drive id=boot-cd,if=none,readonly,format=qcow2,file=$ISO \
-device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
-device scsi-cd,drive=boot-cd,bus=scsi0.0,bootindex=0 \
"Makefile" assumes that "mkdosfs", "mtools", and "genisoimage" are
present.
