The Serial IO protocol instances provided by SerialDxe and consumed by
TerminalDxe come with a Mode.ReceiveFifoDepth=1 default setting, as
required by UEFI 2.5.
Although TerminalDxe calls EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL.SetAttributes() in the
TerminalDriverBindingStart() and TerminalConInTimerHandler() functions, it
only does so to change the Mode.Timeout member. Other members of Mode,
including Mode.ReceiveFifoDepth, are preserved.
On some platforms this causes the UART that underlies TerminalDxe not to
have enough room for bursts of scan codes, which translates to broken
parsing of escape sequences, e.g. cursor movement keys.
According to the UEFI spec, passing ReceiveFifoDepth=0 to
EFI_SERIAL_IO_PROTOCOL.SetAttributes() "will use the device's default FIFO
depth". While TerminalDxe could try to configure a receive FIFO depth that
matches the longest escape sequence it wishes to parse, in practice the
device-specific default FIFO depth -- which may well differ from the
spec-mandated SerialIo->Mode.ReceiveFifoDepth=1 default -- seems to work.
Hence let's just set that.
