The Hii runtime support feature will export the content of
HiiDatabase and the ConfigResp string to runtime buffer
after ReadyToBoot event is triggered. If some drivers
add/update/remove packages from Hiidatabase after ReadyToBoot:
Originally we will both export the content of HiiDatabase and
the ConfigResp string for all packages.
But now after investigation, we found only for form packages need
to export the content of HiiDatabase and the ConfigResp string,
for other packages just need to export the content of HiiDatabase.
Now to enhance this logic.

This feature is aimed to allow OS make use of the HII database
during runtime. In this case, the contents of the HII Database
is exported to a buffer. The pointer to the buffer is placed
in the EFI System Configuration Table, where it can be retrieved
by an OS application.
