With Python3, the dict.value() method returns an iterator.
If a dictionary is updated while an iterator on its keys is used,
a RuntimeError is generated.
Converting the iterator to a list() forces a copy of the mutable
keys in an immutable list which can be safely iterated.

Commit f8d11e5a4aaa converted various uses but missed one:
When specifying multiple BUILDTARGET, the first target builds
successfully, but then the PGen.BuildDatabase._CACHE_ dictionary is
updated, and accessing the next target triggers a RuntimeError.

Convert this iterator to an immutable list, to solve this build error:

    $ build -a IA32 -t GCC5 -b RELEASE -b NOOPT -p OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc
    [...]
    Processing meta-data ...
    build.py...
     : error C0DE: Unknown fatal error when processing [OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc]

call stack trace!)

Note: The culprit commit (f8d11e5a4aaa) can not be found with bisection.
In 9c2d68c0a299 the build tools default to the python version provided
by the ${PYTHON} environment variable, however the Python3 transition is
not functional before d943b0c339fe. f8d11e5a4aaa falls between the
previous two.

 - fixed English errors (Laszlo)
 - the paragraph about bisection not working is not relevant to
   the fix, keep it as background info but move it after (Laszlo)
