    ArmVirtPkg/FdtClientDxe: make DT table installation !ACPI dependent
    
    Instead of having a build time switch to prevent the FDT configuration
    table from being installed, make this behavior dependent on whether we
    are passing ACPI tables to the OS. This is done by looking for the
    ACPI 2.0 configuration table, and only installing the FDT one if the
    ACPI one cannot be found.

Which makes sense - arm64/ACPI support wasn't baked yet upstream in
v4.4.
