  This function looks up a Unicode string in UnicodeStringTable.

  If Language is a member of SupportedLanguages and a Unicode string is found in
  UnicodeStringTable that matches the language code specified by Language, then
  it is returned in UnicodeString.

  @param  Language             A pointer to an ASCII string containing the ISO 639-2 or the
                               RFC 4646 language code for the Unicode string to look up and
                               return. If Iso639Language is TRUE, then this ASCII string is
                               not assumed to be Null-terminated, and only the first three
                               characters are used. If Iso639Language is FALSE, then this ASCII
                               string must be Null-terminated. 
  @param  SupportedLanguages   A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that contains a
                               set of ISO 639-2 or RFC 4646 language codes that the Unicode
                               string table supports.  Language must be a member of this set.
                               If Iso639Language is TRUE, then this string contains one or more
                               ISO 639-2 language codes with no separator characters. If Iso639Language
                               is FALSE, then is string contains one or more RFC 4646 language
                               codes separated by ';'.
  @param  UnicodeStringTable   A pointer to the table of Unicode strings. Type EFI_UNICODE_STRING_TABLE
                               is defined in "Related Definitions".
  @param  UnicodeString        A pointer to the Null-terminated Unicode string from UnicodeStringTable
                               that matches the language specified by Language.
  @param  Iso639Language       Specifies the supported language code format. If it is TRUE, then
                               Language and SupportedLanguages follow ISO 639-2 language code format.
                               Otherwise, they follow RFC 4646 language code format.

/**
  Returns a pointer to an allocated buffer that contains the best matching language 
  from a set of supported languages.  
  
  This function supports both ISO 639-2 and RFC 4646 language codes, but language 
  code types may not be mixed in a single call to this function.  The language 
  code returned is allocated using AllocatePool().  The caller is responsible for 
  freeing the allocated buffer using FreePool().  This function supports a variable
  argument list that allows the caller to pass in a prioritized list of language 
  codes to test against all the language codes in SupportedLanguages. 

  If SupportedLanguages is NULL, then ASSERT().

  @param[in]  SupportedLanguages  A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that
                                  contains a set of language codes in the format 
                                  specified by Iso639Language.
  @param[in]  Iso639Language      If TRUE, then all language codes are assumed to be
                                  in ISO 639-2 format.  If FALSE, then all language
                                  codes are assumed to be in RFC 4646 language format
  @param[in]  ...                 A variable argument list that contains pointers to 
                                  Null-terminated ASCII strings that contain one or more
                                  language codes in the format specified by Iso639Language.
                                  The first language code from each of these language
                                  code lists is used to determine if it is an exact or
                                  close match to any of the language codes in 
                                  SupportedLanguages.  Close matches only apply to RFC 4646
                                  language codes, and the matching algorithm from RFC 4647
                                  is used to determine if a close match is present.  If 
                                  an exact or close match is found, then the matching
                                  language code from SupportedLanguages is returned.  If
                                  no matches are found, then the next variable argument
                                  parameter is evaluated.  The variable argument list 
                                  is terminated by a NULL.

  @retval NULL   The best matching language could not be found in SupportedLanguages.
  @retval NULL   There are not enough resources available to return the best matching 
                 language.
  @retval Other  A pointer to a Null-terminated ASCII string that is the best matching 
                 language in SupportedLanguages.
