scripts: fix build_edk2 compilation

Browse source 
build_edk2() module in scripts/common-aarch64.sh
does not produce the UEFI firmware for aarch64 as
the commits used to assemble sources for acpica,
edk2-platforms and edk2 do not compile after GCC
version upgraded from 11.4.0 to 13.3.0 in the
developer container (ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04)

Apply minimum upgrade to EDK2_REPO and ACPICA_REPO
required to compile with GCC 13.3.0
while still assuring guest VM boot for all
integration tests

BaseTools: Brotli compression submodule that was
previously failing has been fixed following commit
bump

Developers can now produce UEFI firmware for
aarch64 using the following commands
```
./scripts/dev_cli.sh shell
source scripts/test-util.sh
source scripts/common-aarch64.sh
build_edk2
```
