If PcdDxeNxMemoryProtectionPolicy is set to enable protection for memory
of EfiBootServicesCode, EfiConventionalMemory, the BIOS will hang at a page
fault exception during MP initialization.
The root cause is that the AP wake up buffer, which is below 1MB and used
to hold both AP init code and data, is type of EfiConventionalMemory (not
really allocated because of potential conflict with legacy code), and is
marked as non-executable. During the transition from real address mode
to long mode, the AP init code has to enable paging which will then cause
itself a page fault exception because it's just running in non-executable
memory.
The solution is splitting AP wake up buffer into two part: lower part is
still below 1MB and shared with legacy system, higher part is really
allocated memory of BootServicesCode type. The init code in the memory
below 1MB will not enable paging but just switch to protected mode and
jump to higher memory, in which the init code will enable paging and
switch to long mode.

Current logic always waiting for a specific value to collect all APs
count. This logic may caused some platforms cost too much time to
wait for time out.
This patch add new logic to collect APs count. It adds new variable
NumApsExecuting to detect whether all APs have finished initialization.
Each AP let NumApsExecuting++ when begin to initialize itself and let
NumApsExecuting-- when it finish the initialization. BSP base on whether
NumApsExecuting == 0 to finished the collect AP process.

Original AP index variable name not well express the meaning
of the variable. Also this name is better used in later patch.
So change the variable name for better understanding.

Add assembly code for AP reset vector and the definition of MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO
that are used to exchange the data between C code and assembly code when AP wake
up.
v4:
1. Copy MP_CPU_EXCHANGE_INFO from UefiCpuPkg/CpuMpPei/CpuMpPei.h
2. Copy MpEqu.inc and MpFuncs.nasm from UefiCpuPkg/CpuMpPei.
v3:
1. Rename NumApsExecutingLoction to NumApsExecutingLocation
2. Add whitespace after ; in .nasm file
