A platform introduced in EDK II named OvmfXen is now the one to use for
Xen instead of OvmfX64. It comes with PVH support.
Also, the Xen support in OvmfX64 is deprecated,
"deprecation notice: *dynamic* multi-VMM (QEMU vs. Xen) support in OvmfPkg"
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/75498
and has been removed upstream.
We need to also update to a newer version of OVMF as OvmfXen in the
release "edk2-stable202105" doesn't work well with Xen, so we need the
fix b37cfdd28071 ("OvmfPkg/XenPlatformPei: Relocate shared_info page
mapping").
Also, don't set anymore the number of thread for parallel build when
building the newer platform, OvmfPkg/build.sh is now doing parallel
build by default.

This reverts commit aad7b5c11d.
The change from OvmfX64 to OvmfXen causes a change in behaviour, whereby
OvmfXen maps its shared info page at the top of address space. When trying to
migrate such a domain, XENMEM_maximum_gpfn returns a very large value. This
has uncovered multiple issues:
1) The userspace hypercall wrappers truncate all return values to int on
Linux and Solaris, even on 64bit. This needs fixing in libxenctrl.
2) 32bit toolstacks can't migrate any domain with RAM above the 2^40 mark,
because of virtual address constraints. This needs fixing in OVMF.
Fixes for both of these aren't completely trivial. Revert the change to
unblock staging in the meantime.

Users may choose to export a snapshot of OVMF and build it
with xen.git supplied ovmf-makefile. In that case we don't
need to call `git submodule`.
Fixes b16281870e.

OVMF has become dependent on OpenSSL, which is included as a
submodule. Initialise submodules before building.
