OvmfPkg: introduce IOMMU-like member functions to VIRTIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL

The patch extends VIRTIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL to provide the following new
member functions:

- AllocateSharedPages : allocate a memory region suitable for sharing
   between guest and hypervisor (e.g ring buffer).

- FreeSharedPages: free the memory allocated using AllocateSharedPages ().

- MapSharedBuffer: map a host address to device address suitable to share
   with device for bus master operations.

- UnmapSharedBuffer: unmap the device address obtained through the
   MapSharedBuffer().

We're free to extend the protocol structure without changing the protocol
GUID, or bumping any protocol version fields (of which we currently have
none), because VIRTIO_DEVICE_PROTOCOL is internal to edk2 by design --
see the disclaimers in "VirtioDevice.h".

The patch implements Laszlo's recommendation [1].
