<id>urn:sha1:3af7eccf472d2308201fccc805db7e06acabd47c</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace manual loop-based tuple construction with the built-in tuple()
function when converting PcdDbBuffer to a tuple. This change
significantly improves performance—approximately three times
faster—resulting in substantial build time savings in large
environments.

Previously, the code iterated over each byte in PcdDbBuffer, unpacking
and appending it to a tuple. The new approach leverages
tuple(PcdDbBuffer) to achieve the same result more efficiently. The
generated tuple remains identical to the original implementation.

TEST=The generated tuple is the same than with to original code

1 - Some of these imports are cascaded from another file. Import them locally.
2 - Some of these imports are not used. Remove them.
3 - Some of these were missing the namespace used to import them.

This reverts commit 6693f359b3c213513c5096a06c6f67244a44dc52..
678f85131238622e576705117e299d81cff755c9.

Python3 migration is the fundamental change. It requires every developer
to install Python3. Before this migration, the well communication and wide
verification must be done. But now, most people is not aware of this change,
and not try it. So, Python3 migration is reverted and be moved to edk2-staging
Python3 branch for the edk2 user evaluation.
