Research direction

Start with BaseTools/Bin/iasl_ext_dep.yaml, especially the current version entry linked in the issue. Identify a newer iasl version and update the dependency while checking the surrounding configuration; done means the ext-dependency entry no longer uses 20230628.0.1 and the project accepts the updated dependency.
