NULL pointer detection is done by making use of paging mechanism of CPU.
During page table setup, if enabled, the first 4-K page (0-4095) will be
marked as NOT PRESENT. Any code which unintentionally access memory between
0-4095 will trigger a Page Fault exception which warns users that there's
potential illegal code in BIOS.
This also means that legacy code which has to access memory between 0-4095
should be cautious to temporarily disable this feature before the access
and re-enable it afterwards; or disalbe this feature at all.

This PCD holds the address mask for page table entries when memory
encryption is enabled on AMD processors supporting the Secure Encrypted
Virtualization (SEV) feature.
The mask is applied when creating page tables.

This feature is added for UEFI spec that says
"Stack may be marked as non-executable in identity mapped page tables".
A PCD PcdSetNxForStack is added to turn on/off this feature, and it is
FALSE by default.

2. DxeMain will get Vector Handoff Table GUIDed HOB to install configuration table if it has.
3. Updated CPU Exception Handler Library to provide 3 new APIs to replace original one API and updated NULL instance accordingly.
4. Updated DxeMain/CapsuleX64/BootSriptExectorDxe to use the new API in CPU Exception Handler Lib.
