MdeModulePkg/Variable/RuntimeDxe: introduce PcdMaxVolatileVariableSize

The variable driver doesn't distinguish "non-volatile non-authenticated" variables from "volatile non-authenticated" variables, when checking individual variable sizes against the permitted maximum. PcdMaxVariableSize covers both kinds. This prevents volatile non-authenticated variables from carrying large data between UEFI drivers, despite having no flash impact. One example is EFI_TLS_CA_CERTIFICATE_VARIABLE, which platforms might want to create as volatile on every boot: the certificate list can be several hundred KB in size. Introduce PcdMaxVolatileVariableSize to represent the limit on individual volatile non-authenticated variables. The default value is zero, which makes Variable/RuntimeDxe fall back to PcdMaxVariableSize (i.e. the current behavior). This is similar to the PcdMaxAuthVariableSize fallback. Whenever the size limit is enforced, consult MaxVolatileVariableSize as the last option, after checking - MaxAuthVariableSize for VARIABLE_ATTRIBUTE_AT_AW, - and MaxVariableSize for EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE. EFI_VARIABLE_HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD is always handled separately; it always takes priority over the three cases listed above. Introduce the GetMaxVariableSize() helper to consider PcdMaxVolatileVariableSize, in addition to GetNonVolatileMaxVariableSize(). GetNonVolatileMaxVariableSize() is currently called at three sites, and two of those need to start using GetMaxVariableSize() instead: - VariableServiceInitialize() [VariableSmm.c]: the SMM comms buffer must accommodate all kinds of variables, - VariableCommonInitialize() [Variable.c]: the preallocated scratch space must also accommodate all kinds of variables, - InitNonVolatileVariableStore() [Variable.c] can continue using GetNonVolatileMaxVariableSize(). Don't modify the ReclaimForOS() function as it is specific to non-volatile variables and should ignore PcdMaxVolatileVariableSize.
