Add APIs for parsing BIOS configuration JSON
1) Add API to get the BIOS strings from the JSON configuration files.
2) Add API to parse the config file and setup the lookup data structures
for the BIOS attribute table and BIOS attribute value table.
3) Add API to get the possible values and the default values for the BIOS
enumeration type.
4) Add API to get the current value of the BIOS enumeration attribute.
5) BIOS attributes can be configured by JSON configuration files which have
information to build the BIOS string table, attribute table and attribute
value table.
