Add qemu binary release workflow:

[Javagedes]

Description

Add a new workflow that will build and prepare qemu binaries for both Windows and Linux. This workflow has three triggers:

1. A pull request to the main branch, which will only trigger when either the workflow itself, or the qemu version file is updated. This workflow will upload the binaries as an artifact to the workflow.

2. A release, which will upload the binaries as an artifact to the associated release

3. A manual trigger, which allows for testing the workflow on a custom branch. This will upload the binaries as an artifact to the workflow.

• Impacts functionality?
  • Functionality - Does the change ultimately impact how firmware functions?
  • Examples: Add a new library, publish a new PPI, update an algorithm, ...
• Impacts security?
  • Security - Does the change have a direct security impact on an application,
    flow, or firmware?
  • Examples: Crypto algorithm change, buffer overflow fix, parameter
    validation improvement, ...
• Breaking change?
  • Breaking change - Will anyone consuming this change experience a break
    in build or boot behavior?
  • Examples: Add a new library class, move a module to a different repo, call
    a function in a new library class in a pre-existing module, ...
• Includes tests?
  • Tests - Does the change include any explicit test code?
  • Examples: Unit tests, integration tests, robot tests, ...
• Includes documentation?
  • Documentation - Does the change contain explicit documentation additions
    outside direct code modifications (and comments)?
  • Examples: Update readme file, add feature readme file, link to documentation
    on an a separate Web page, ...

How This Was Tested

A release was performed using this github action on a personal branch (v0.1.9), and was used as an external dependency on a mu_tiano_platforms Draft PR, which is passing, and will be merged once this PR has been merged and a release has been executed.

@kuqin12 , @cfernald, Do you have some additional use cases that I / You can test? Probably related to loading an OS - but anything important?

If you have time to test the TpmReplay feature, instructions are here - https://github.com/microsoft/mu_tiano_platforms/blob/main/Platforms/Docs/Q35/Features/feature_tpm_replay.md. This is a little unique because it uses a TPM emulator. The TPM emulator only works on Linux at the moment. If there is not time to test it, it is used rarely enough, I can take a note to check it later.

I recommend at least booting Windows if you haven't done that.

Agreed. We normally would validate with a Windows boot with the QEMU UEFI.

Thanks! I will test both.

Verified Qemu can boot to Windows for both Windows and Linux qemu binaries. Still need to test the Tpm Replay functionality.

Verified Tpm Replay works.
