Description
We want to remove more than one type at a time. It would be nice to instead specify entire firmware volumes to run the cleaner on, rather than to just say all Drivers or all SMM_Drivers etc.

Research direction
Start by locating DxeCleaner and reading how it currently selects file types to remove. Trace how firmware volumes are represented and determine how the cleaner should accept a volume target and multiple types; done means selected firmware volumes can be cleaned without affecting unrelated volumes.
