Prevent stack underrun in the event of a timer interrupt storm in
LocalApicTimerDxe and 8254TimerDxe interrupt handlers by using the
helper functions provided by NestedInterruptTplLib.
This fixes the same problem as addressed in commit 239b50a86
("OvmfPkg: End timer interrupt later to avoid stack overflow under
load"), but does so without breaking nested timer interrupts.

Discussion in https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1496 shows
that 8254TimerDxe was not written for OVMF. It was moved over from
PcAtChipsetPkg to OvmfPkg in 2019. Probably because OVMF was the only
user left.
Most likely the reason OVMF used 8254TimerDxe initially was that it could
just use the existing driver in PcAtChipsetPkg. And it simply hasn't
been changed ever.
CSM support was moved in 2019 too. (CSM support depends on 8254/8259
drivers). So 8254TimerDxe will be used when CSM_ENABLE=TRUE.
There are 4 .dsc which include the 8254Timer.
- OvmfPkg/AmdSev/AmdSevX64.dsc
- OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc
- OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc
- OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc
For the three OvmfPkg* configs using 8254TimerDxe with CSM_ENABLE=TRUE
and LapicTimerDxe otherwise.
For the AmdSev config it doesn't make sense to support a CSM. So use
the lapic timer unconditionally.

XenTimerDxe is a local Apic timer driver and it has nothing to do
with Xen. So rename it to LocalApicTimerDxe.
