The ARM architecture version 8 deprecates all uses of the IT instruction
except cases where it is followed by a single narrow instruction. So
replace any occurrences with equivalent sequences that adhere to the
new rules.

The ARM ScanMem() in BaseMemoryLibOptDxe contains code from the open
source cortex-strings library, and inherited a bug from it where the
conditional execution of a sequence of instructions is erroneously
made dependent on the same condition. Since the final 'addeq' is
supposed to be dependent on the preceding 'tsteq' instruction, they
cannot be part of the same IT block.

The new InternalMemSetMem##() implementations for ARM and AARCH64 in
BaseMemoryLibOptDxe fail to take into account that the 'length' argument
is not in bytes, but in number of items to be copied. So multiply by the
item size before proceeding.

As reported by Vishal, CompareGuid() is a hotspot, and switching from
BaseMemoryLibStm in ArmPkg/ to BaseMemoryLibOptDxe causes a noticeable
performance regression due to the fact that BaseMemoryLibOptDxe uses
unaligned accessors explicitly to implement CompareGuid() and the related
functions.
Since BaseMemoryLibOptDxe on ARM and AARCH64 can only be used in contexts
where unaligned accesses are allowed, reimplement these functions for ARM
and AARCH64 specifically, using wide accessors that can tolerate any
misalignment.

Fix two bugs:
- Erroneous shift of 2 in a bytes to bits conversion.
- Use reverse subtract rather than negate for value that is subsequently
used as operand #2 in a shift operation.

This adds ARM support to BaseMemoryLibOptDxe, partially based on the
cortex-strings library (ScanMem) and the existing CopyMem() implementation
from BaseMemoryLibStm in ArmPkg.
All string routines are accelerated except ScanMem16, ScanMem32,
ScanMem64 and IsZeroBuffer, which can wait for another day. (Very few
occurrences exist in the codebase)
