Gary Lin 86379ac48b BaseTools: Replace StringIO.StringIO with io.BytesIO
Replace StringIO.StringIO with io.BytesIO to be compatible with python3.
This commit also removes "import StringIO" from those python scripts
that don't really use it.

Jordan Justen 3f45c1375d BaseTools/Scripts: Add ConvertUni.py script
This script uses python codecs to convert .uni string files between
the utf-16 and utf-8 formats.

The advantages of utf-8 data:
 * Generally smaller files
 * More commonly supported by editors
 * Not treated as binary data in patch files

The script was tested on MdePkg with both python 2.7 and python 3.4.
It was able to convert all MdePkg .uni files between utf-8 and utf-16
multiple times always producing the same files for each format.

v2:
 * Rename ConvertUtf16ToUtf8.py to ConvertUni.py
 * Also support utf-8 to utf-16 conversion (with --utf-16)
