Laszlo Ersek 47343af304 MdeModulePkg/Core/Dxe: limit FwVol encapsulation section recursion ...

The DXE Core sets up a protocol notify function in its entry point, for
instances of the Firmware Volume Block2 Protocol:

  DxeMain()           [DxeMain/DxeMain.c]
    FwVolDriverInit() [FwVol/FwVol.c]

Assume that a 3rd party UEFI driver or application installs an FVB
instance, with crafted contents. The notification function runs:

  NotifyFwVolBlock() [FwVol/FwVol.c]

installing an instance of the Firmware Volume 2 Protocol on the handle.

(Alternatively, assume that a 3rd party application calls
gDS->ProcessFirmwareVolume(), which may also produce a Firmware Volume 2
Protocol instance.)

The EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL.ReadSection() member performs "a
depth-first, left-to-right search algorithm through all sections found in
the specified file" (quoting the PI spec), as follows:

  FvReadFileSection()   [FwVol/FwVolRead.c]
    GetSection()        [SectionExtraction/CoreSectionExtraction.c]
      FindChildNode()   [SectionExtraction/CoreSectionExtraction.c]
        FindChildNode() // recursive call

FindChildNode() is called recursively for encapsulation sections.

Currently this recursion is not limited. Introduce a new PCD
(fixed-at-build, or patchable-in-module), and make FindChildNode() track
the section nesting depth against that PCD.
