ArmPlatformPkg/PL111LcdArmVExpressLib: use write-combine mapping for VRAM

Replace the uncached memory mapping of the framebuffer with a write-
combining one. This improves performance, and avoids issues with
unaligned accesses and DC ZVA instructions performed by the accelerated
memcpy/memset routines.

Instead of manipulating the memory attributes directly, use the
SetMemorySpaceAttributes() DXE services, which validates the attributes
against the capabilities of the region before making the actual change.
