Hao A Wu 253909974a UefiCpuPkg: Add definitions for EDKII microcode patch HOB
REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2430

This commit will add the definitions for EDKII microcode patch HOB.

The intention of adding this HOB is to provide a scheme to store the below
information:

A. The base address and size of the microcode patches that are being
   loaded (from flash) into memory;
B. The information of detected microcode patch for each processor within
   the system.

The producer of the HOB will be the UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib (where the load,
detect and apply of the microcode happen). The consumer of the HOB can be
modules that want to detect/apply the microcode patch by themselves again
later during the boot flow.
