In edk2 commit 06033f5abad3 ("BaseTools: Make brotli a submodule",
2020-04-16), part of edk2-stable202005, the Brotli compressor /
decompressor source code that edk2 had flattened into BaseTools was
replaced with a git submodule.
This means we have to initialize edk2's own submodules before building
BaseTools not just in "roms/Makefile.edk2", but in "roms/Makefile" (for
the sake of the "efirom" target) and "tests/uefi-test-tools/Makefile" as
well.

This change can not possibly be correct.
With current qemu.git#master one is forced to have network access to
build the roms. This fails with exported (and complete) sources in an
offline environment.
