The PI spec (v1.7) correctly specifies "EFI_RUNTIME_EVENT_ENTRY.Event" in
natural language, but the field type in the structure definition itself is
wrong -- it should be EFI_EVENT, not (EFI_EVENT*).
This spec bug is likely unfixable for compatibility reasons, and so edk2
works it around already. We should clearly document the workaround.
Functionally, this patch is a no-op.
(I've also requested a non-normative (informative) clarification for the
PI spec: <https://mantis.uefi.org/mantis/view.php?id=2017>.)

Signal a closed event will still invoke the event notification function,
it could only be exposed when no the DEBUG_PROPERTY_CLEAR_MEMORY_ENABLED
bit set in PcdDebugPropertyMask.
For example:
gBS->CreateEvent (
EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL,
TPL_CALLBACK,
CallbackFun,
NULL,
&Event
);
gBS->CloseEvent (Event);
gBS->SignalEvent (Event); <- CallbackFun still be invoked
Although the case to signal a closed event is abnormal, the code could
still be enhanced to avoid it.

In a CloseEvent, an UnregisterProtocolNotify is done unconditionally.
There is a penalty associated with searching the protocol database on
every CloseEvent and impacts performance, especially during Network IO.
Unregister needs to be done only if the Event is for a RegisterProtocolNotify.
So extend the ExFlag in IEVENT to a UINT8 and define new flags that can
be set to indicate if the Event is part of a group, or registered on a
protocol notify. Then in CloseEvent, call UnregisterProtocolNotify only
if the register protocol notify flag is set.

WaitForEvent() are NULL.
Passing NULL pointer would cause a segmentation fault in the current code.
This change prevents to get segmentation faults in this case.

Minor cleanup the coding style: #include <DxeMain.h> should be changed to #include "DxeMain.h" since "DxeMain.h" is not pubic header fie.
