OvmfPkg/PlatformPei: explain EFI_MEMORY_TYPE_INFORMATION page counts 

Add a code comment that explains the nature of the NumberOfPages field
values. Including this kind of historical information was suggested by
Leif in <https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/55797> (alternative link:
<http://mid.mail-archive.com/20200312104006.GB23627@bivouac.eciton.net>).

Right now, the most recent commit updating the page counts has been commit
991d956362 ("[...] Update default memory type information to reduce EFI
Memory Map fragmentation.", 2010-07-16).
