MtrrSetMemoryAttributesInMtrrSettings() is a batch-set API.
When setting multiple ranges of memory attributes, the single-set
API (MtrrSetMemoryAttributeInMtrrSettings and MtrrSetMemoryAttribute)
may fail, but batch-set API may succeed.
Add comments to recommend caller to use batch-set API when setting
multiple ranges.

The new algorithm converts the problem calculating optimal
MTRR settings (using least MTRR registers) to the problem finding
the shortest path in a graph.
The memory required in extreme but rare case can be up to 256KB,
so using local stack buffer is impossible considering current
DxeIpl only allocates 128KB stack.
The patch changes existing MtrrSetMemoryAttributeInMtrrSettings() and
MtrrSetMemoryAttribute() to use the 4-page stack buffer for
calculation. The two APIs return BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when the buffer
is too small for calculation.
The patch adds a new API MtrrSetMemoryAttribute*s*InMtrrSettings() to
set multiple-range attributes in one function call.
Since every call to MtrrSetMemoryAttributeInMtrrSettings (without-s)
or MtrrSetMemoryAttribute() requires to calculate the MTRRs for the
whole physical memory, combining multiple calls in one API can
significantly reduce the calculation time.
In theory, if N times of call to without-s API costs N seconds,
the new API only costs 1 second.
The new API uses the buffer supplied from caller to calculate
MTRRs and returns BUFFER_TOO_SMALL when the buffer is too small for
calculation.
Test performed:
1. Random test
a. Generate random memory settings, use the new algorithm to
calculate the MTRRs.
b. Read back the MTRRs and check the memory settings match
the desired memory settings.
c. Repeat the above #1 and #2 100000 times.
2. OVMF 32PEI + 64DXE boot to shell.

Add new API MtrrSetMemoryAttributeInMtrrSettings() in MtrrLib. Platform could
use this API to set MTRR setting into local MTRR settings buffer instead of
MTRRs. At last, platform could use MtrrSetAllMtrrs() to set the MTRR settings
into MTRRs totally. It could improve MTRRs programming performance obviously,
specially when platform is going to program a set of MTRRs.

Current MtrrLib reserves 2 variable MTRRs for some legacy OS boot (CSM boots)
may require some MTRRs to be reserved for OS use. But UEFI OS boot will not use
MTRRs.
Per Scott's suggestion in
link: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.edk2.devel/4099
Add one PCD PcdCpuNumberOfReservedVariableMtrrs to specify the number of
variable MTRRs reserved for OS use. Setting its default value to 2 is for
back-compatibility.

2. Invoke MtrrGetDefaultMemoryType() to get the default memory type instead of the hard code value in module.
3. Add go though for UC attributes.

1) No API change from old version.
2) Change MACRO:
#define MTRR_NUMBER_OF_VARIABLE_MTRR 32 // the semantics are changed from NUMBER to MAX_NUMBER.
#define FIRMWARE_VARIABLE_MTRR_NUMBER 6 // wrong and deprecated
#define MTRR_LIB_IA32_VARIABLE_MTRR_END 0x20F // wrong and deprecated
#define RESERVED_FIRMWARE_VARIABLE_MTRR_NUMBER 2 // add new one.
