Ni, Ray 92ab049719 BaseTools: output the intermediate library instance when error occurs
When a module "Module" depends on a library instance "Lib1" which
depends on "Lib2" which depends on "Lib3" ... depends on "LibN",
but "LibN" doesn't support the type (e.g.: SEC) of the "Module", the
following error messages are printed by build tool:

<DSC path>(...): error 1001: Module by library instance [<LibN path>]
        consumed by [<Module path>]

But it's unclear to user how LibN is consumed by the Module.

With the patch, following errors are printed:

<DSC path>(...): error 1001: Module by library instance [<LibN path>]
        consumed by library instance [<Lib N-1 path>] which is
        consumed by module[<Module path>]

It doesn't print all the intermediate library instances between the
Module and LibN but at least the path of Lib N-1 can help users
to help how to fix the build errors.

I hope this patch can be a trigger point that a better solution could
be developed by tool experts to print all the library instances
between the Module and LibN.
