Description Sean Brogan 2021-09-23 03:41:03 UTC 
Given that the tools_def.template file is what contains reference to the path to the GccLto binaries it is better aligned to put these in the Basetools folder.  This also helps CI and builds because the build system will fail if it can't locate these files.  

Example of change: 
https://github.com/microsoft/mu_basecore/commit/a307f99dacb6641ce6fe54e7c9ece42670fba26e

tools_def.template chanages: https://github.com/microsoft/mu_basecore/commit/a95abc174e2c1a049321254d57200b6f2ec2e613
