Subject: [PATCH v2] MdePkg Base.h: Delete prototype for __builtin_return_address

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1004

Being a compiler builtin, the type of __builtin_return_address is already known 
to the compiler so no prototype is needed. Clang also errors out when 
redeclaring certain builtins like this[1], though currently only for ones with 
custom type checking. At the moment, __builtin_return_address does not use 
custom type checking and so does not trigger this error, however, the CHERI 
fork of LLVM, which will form the basis of the toolchain for Arm's experimental 
Morello platform, does use custom type checking for it, and so gives an error. 
Thus, simply delete the unnecessary line.

Changes in v2:
 * Shortened [1] reference to fit column limit. The bug report has the
   full URL already, and this will still link correctly on GitHub.
