One of the functionalities of CpuDxe is to update memory paging attributes.
If page table protection is applied, it must be disabled temporarily before
any attributes update and enabled again afterwards.
This patch makes use of the same way as DxeIpl to allocate page table memory
from reserved memory pool, which helps to reduce potential "split" operation
and recursive calling of SetMemorySpaceAttributes().
Laszlo (lersek@redhat.com) did a regression test on QEMU virtual platform with
one middle version of this series patch. The details can be found at

There're a few changes after his work.

Heap guard feature will frequently update page attributes. The debug message
in CpuDxe driver will slow down the boot performance noticeably. Changing the
debug level to DEBUG_VERBOSE to reduce the message output for normal debug
configuration.

The architectural MSR MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE is not supported by AMD processors.
Because reading CPUID.80000001H:EDK[20] is enough to check if XD feature is
supported or not, we just remove checking MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE(0x1A0).

This PCD holds the address mask for page table entries when memory
encryption is enabled on AMD processors supporting the Secure Encrypted
Virtualization (SEV) feature.
The mask is applied when page tables entries are created or modified.

Add memory attribute setting in CpuArch protocol.
Previous SetMemoryAttributes() API only supports cache attribute setting.
This patch updated SetMemoryAttributes() API to support memory attribute
setting by updating CPU page table.
