Cache Basetools Random Stack Cookie Values to Improve Incremental Build Times
Description
If the stack cookie value is randomized in the AutoGen.h file each build, the build system will determine the module/library must be rebuilt causing effectively a clean build every time. This PR updates the logic which creates the STACK_COOKIE_VALUE #define to cache the stack cookie values in a .txt file in Conf/.cache so incremental builds use the same value and clean builds generate the value.
