Variable Read Lib
This library provides phase agnostic access to the UEFI Variable Services.
This is done by implementing a wrapper on top of the phase specific mechanism
for reading from UEFI variables. For example, the PEI implementation of this
library uses EFI_PEI_READ_ONLY_VARIABLE2_PPI. The DXE implementation accesses
the UEFI Runtime Services Table, and the SMM implementation uses
EFI_SMM_VARIABLE_PROTOCOL.
Using this library allows code to be written in a generic manner that can be
used in PEI, DXE, or SMM without modification.

Returns the value of a variable.
@param[in] VariableName A Null-terminated string that is the name of the vendor's
variable.
@param[in] VendorGuid A unique identifier for the vendor.
@param[out] Attributes If not NULL, a pointer to the memory location to return the
attributes bitmask for the variable.
@param[in, out] DataSize On input, the size in bytes of the return Data buffer.
On output the size of data returned in Data.
@param[out] Data The buffer to return the contents of the variable. May be NULL
with a zero DataSize in order to determine the size buffer needed.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The function completed successfully.
@retval EFI_NOT_FOUND The variable was not found.
