1. record the distance of two neighboring VAR_ADDED type variables rather than the offset of each variable. As the field recording this info is UINT16 width, the latter causes in IA32/X64 platform, it can only cache those variables from offset 0 to offset 2^16; in IPF platform, from offset 0 to offset 2^18(extend the scope by left-shift the offset two bits).
when taking the former algorithm, the max range of caching variable is from offset 0 to offset 122*(2^16)

2. move VariableFormat.h into GUID directory and change the “Signature” field of the VARIABLE_STORE_HEADER to gEfiVariableGuid value.
3. merging VARIABLE_INFO_ENTRY structure into the new Include/Guid/VariableFormat.h
4. change gEfiVariableInfoGuid into gEfiVariableGuid.
5. modify FDF files to use new guid value instead of the original signature.
6. all code related to signature is changed to use guid value.
