Remove NibbleToHexChar() function from BaseLib

Move IsHexDigit, BufToHexString, HexStringToBuf from BaseLib to MdeModulePkg IfrSupportLib. The reason is:
1) IsHexDigit function provides the logic to check Hex Digit and convert it to Decimal value, which is required by IScsi LUN and HII user input. But this logic is not provided by any functions in MdeLib. So, it can't be deleted. It is moved to IfrSupportLib.
2) BufToHexString function converts a array of buffers to hex string. If the buffer length is less than sizeof (UINT64), it can be directly replaced by UnicodeValueToString(). But HII modules may use BufToHexString to convert the buffers whose length > sizeof (UINT64). For example:
.\MdeModulePkg\Universal\HiiDatabaseDxe\ConfigRouting.c line 201, 1148
.\Universal\SetupBrowserDxe\Setup.c line line 1457, 1503
Like this case, it is not easy to use UnicodeValueToString to replace BufToHexString. So, BufToHexString is still kept. Because such usages are in HII modules, this function is moved to IfrSupportLib. 
3) HexStringToBuf is moved to IfrSupportLib. The reason is similar to BufToHexString.

-/** 

-  Convert binary buffer to a Unicode String in a specified sequence. 

-

-  This function converts bytes in the memory block pointed by Buffer to a Unicode String Str. 

-  Each byte will be represented by two Unicode characters. For example, byte 0xA1 will 

-  be converted into two Unicode character L'A' and L'1'. In the output String, the Unicode Character 

-  for the Most Significant Nibble will be put before the Unicode Character for the Least Significant

-  Nibble. The output string for the buffer containing a single byte 0xA1 will be L"A1". 

-  For a buffer with multiple bytes, the Unicode character produced by the first byte will be put into the 

-  the last character in the output string. The one next to first byte will be put into the

-  character before the last character. This rules applies to the rest of the bytes. The Unicode

-  character by the last byte will be put into the first character in the output string. For example,

-  the input buffer for a 64-bits unsigned integer 0x12345678abcdef1234 will be converted to

-  a Unicode string equal to L"12345678abcdef1234".

-  Convert a Unicode string consisting of hexadecimal characters to a output byte buffer.

-

-  This function converts a Unicode string consisting of characters in the range of Hexadecimal

-  character (L'0' to L'9', L'A' to L'F' and L'a' to L'f') to a output byte buffer. The function will stop

-  at the first non-hexadecimal character or the NULL character. The convertion process can be

-  simply viewed as the reverse operations defined by BufToHexString. Two Unicode characters will be 

-  converted into one byte. The first Unicode character represents the Most Significant Nibble and the

-  second Unicode character represents the Least Significant Nibble in the output byte. 

-  The first pair of Unicode characters represents the last byte in the output buffer. The second pair of Unicode 

-  characters represent the  the byte preceding the last byte. This rule applies to the rest pairs of bytes. 

-  The last pair represent the first byte in the output buffer. 

-

-  For example, a Unciode String L"12345678" will be converted into a buffer wil the following bytes 

-  (first byte is the byte in the lowest memory address): "0x78, 0x56, 0x34, 0x12".

-

-  If String has N valid hexadecimal characters for conversion,  the caller must make sure Buffer is at least 

-  N/2 (if N is even) or (N+1)/2 (if N if odd) bytes. 

-

-  @param Buffer                      The output buffer allocated by the caller.

-  @param BufferSizeInBytes           On input, the size in bytes of Buffer. On output, it is updated to 

-                                     contain the size of the Buffer which is actually used for the converstion.

-                                     For Unicode string with 2*N hexadecimal characters (not including the 

-                                     tailing NULL character), N bytes of Buffer will be used for the output.

-  @param String                      The input hexadecimal string.

-  @param ConvertedStrLen             The number of hexadecimal characters used to produce content in output

-                                     buffer Buffer.

-

-  @retval  RETURN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL   The input BufferSizeInBytes is too small to hold the output. BufferSizeInBytes

-                                     will be updated to the size required for the converstion.

-  @retval  RETURN_SUCCESS            The convertion is successful or the first Unicode character from String

-                                     is hexadecimal. If ConvertedStrLen is not NULL, it is updated

-                                     to the number of hexadecimal character used for the converstion.
