Description
Some platforms such as Ampere Altra have special values for the FirmwareType field: for example 2147483649 is for SCP updates.
To make such values easier to read/understand, allow them to be written in hex: in this case it would be 0x80000001. Implement this by attempting to get a hex integer from the ini data file if reading a decimal value fails.
How This Was Tested
Write a SystemFirmwareUpdateConfig.ini file with a FirmwareType value of 0x80000002 and verified it was correctly read and interpreted when applying a capsule update.
