DynamicTablesPkg: Helper function to compute package length

Some AML object have a PkgLen which indicates the size of the
AML object. The package length can be encoded in 1 to 4 bytes.
The bytes used to encode the PkgLen is itself counted in the
PkgLen value. So, if an AML object's size increments/decrements,
the number of bytes used to encode the PkgLen value can itself
increment/decrement.

Therefore, a helper function AmlComputePkgLength() is introduced
to simply computation of the PkgLen.

/** Given a length, compute the value of a PkgLen.
In AML, some object have a PkgLen, telling the size of the AML object.
It can be encoded in 1 to 4 bytes. The bytes used to encode the PkgLen is
itself counted in the PkgLen value.
This means that if an AML object sees its size increment/decrement,
the number of bytes used to encode the PkgLen value can itself
increment/decrement.
For instance, the AML encoding of a DeviceOp is:
DefDevice := DeviceOp PkgLength NameString TermList
If:
- sizeof (NameString) = 4 (the name is "DEV0" for instance);
- sizeof (TermList) = (2^6-6)
then the PkgLen is encoded on 1 byte. Indeed, its value is:
sizeof (PkgLen) + sizeof (NameString) + sizeof (TermList) =
sizeof (PkgLen) + 4 + (2^6-6)
So:
PkgLen = sizeof (PkgLen) + (2^6-2)
The input arguments Length and PkgLen represent, for the DefDevice:
DefDevice := DeviceOp PkgLength NameString TermList
|------Length-----|
|--------*PgkLength---------|
@param [in] Length The length to encode as a PkgLen.
Length cannot exceed 2^28 - 4 (4 bytes for the
PkgLen encoding).
The size of the PkgLen encoding bytes should not be
counted in this length value.
@param [out] PkgLen If success, contains the value of the PkgLen,
ready to encode in the PkgLen format.
This value takes into account the size of PkgLen
encoding.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The function completed successfully.
@retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER Invalid parameter.
