Hao Wu ea0b15067c MdePkg/PrintLib: Fix possible negative value left shift
REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702

Within function InternalPrintLibSPrintMarker(), possible left shift of a
negative value is found in:
"(*(ArgumentString + 1) << 8)"

which involves undefined behavior.

Since '*(ArgumentString + 1)' is of type CONST CHAR8 (signed), it will be
promoted to type int (signed) during the left shift operation. If
'*(ArgumentString + 1)' is a negative value, the behavior will be
undefined.

According to the C11 spec, Section 6.5.7:
> 4 The result of E1 << E2 is E1 left-shifted E2 bit positions; vacated
>   bits are filled with zeros. If E1 has an unsigned type, the value
>   of the result is E1 * 2^E2 , reduced modulo one more than the
>   maximum value representable in the result type. If E1 has a signed
>   type and nonnegative value, and E1 * 2^E2 is representable in the
>   result type, then that is the resulting value; otherwise, the
>   behavior is undefined.

This commit explicitly cast '*(ArgumentString + 1)' with UINT8 to resolve
this issue.
