OvmfPkg/VirtioSerialDxe: add driver
Add a driver for the virtio serial device. The virtio serial device also known as virtio console device because initially it had only support for a single tty, intended to be used as console. Support for multiple streams and named data ports has been added later on. The driver supports tty ports only, they are registered as SerialIo UART in the system. Named ports are detected and logged, but not exposed as devices. They are usually used by guest agents to communicate with the host. It's not clear whenever it makes sense for the firmware to run such agents and if so which efi protocol could be to expose the ports. So leaving that for another day.
