/**
  Searches all the available firmware volumes and returns the first matching FFS section. 

  This function searches all the firmware volumes for FFS files with FV file type specified by FileType
  The order that the firmware volumes is searched is not deterministic. For each available FV a search 
  is made for FFS file of type FileType. If the FV contains more than one FFS file with the same FileType, 
  the FileInstance instance will be the matched FFS file. For each FFS file found a search 
  is made for FFS sections of type SectionType. If the FFS file contains at least SectionInstance instances 
  of the FFS section specified by SectionType, then the SectionInstance instance is returned in Buffer. 
  Buffer is allocated using AllocatePool(), and the size of the allocated buffer is returned in Size. 
  It is the caller's responsibility to use FreePool() to free the allocated buffer.  
  See EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL.ReadSection() for details on how sections 
  are retrieved from an FFS file based on SectionType and SectionInstance.

  If SectionType is EFI_SECTION_TE, and the search with an FFS file fails, 
  the search will be retried with a section type of EFI_SECTION_PE32.
  This function must be called with a TPL <= TPL_NOTIFY.

  If Buffer is NULL, then ASSERT().
  If Size is NULL, then ASSERT().

  @param  FileType             Indicates the FV file type to search for within all available FVs.
  @param  FileInstance         Indicates which file instance within all available FVs specified by FileType.

  @param  SectionInstance      Indicates which section instance within the FFS file 
                               specified by FileType with FileInstance to retrieve. SectionInstance starts from zero.
  @param  Buffer               On output, a pointer to a callee allocated buffer containing the FFS file section that was found.
                               Is it the caller's responsibility to free this buffer using FreePool().
  @param  Size                 On output, a pointer to the size, in bytes, of Buffer.
