MdePkg/BaseLib: Introduce new SpeculationBarrier API

REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1417

X86 specific BaseLib API AsmLfence() was introduced to address the Spectre
Variant 1 (CVE-2017-5753) issue. The purpose of this API is to insert
barriers to stop speculative execution. However, the API is highly
architecture (X86) specific, and thus should be avoided using across
generic code.

To address this issue, this patch will add a new BaseLib API called
SpeculationBarrier(). Different architectures will have different
implementations for this API.

For IA32 and x64, the implementation of SpeculationBarrier() will
directly call AsmLfence().

For ARM and AARCH64, this patch will add a temporary empty implementation
as a placeholder. We hope experts in ARM can help to contribute the actual
implementation.

For EBC, similar to the ARM and AARCH64 cases, a temporary empty
implementation is added.
