MdeModulePkg SerialDxe: Process timeout consistently in SerialRead

https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2017-July/012385.html
reported the timeout processing in SerialRead is not consistent.

Since SerialPortPoll only checks the status of serial port and
returns immediately, and SerialPortRead does not really implement
a time out mechanism and will always wait for enough input,
it will cause below results:
1. If there is no serial input at all, this interface will return
timeout immediately without any waiting;
2. If there is A characters in serial port FIFO, and caller requires
A+1 characters, it will wait until a new input is coming and timeout
will not really occur.

This patch is to update SerialRead() to check SerialPortPoll() and
read data through SerialPortRead() one byte by one byte, and check
timeout against mSerialIoMode.Timeout if no input.
