MdeModulePkg: Minor comments update to GetNextHighMonotonicCount()
Description of the GetNextHighMonotonicCount does not state that the counter
is incremented on calling this function. However, the example usage of this
API documented relies on this behavior.
UEFI 2.6 spec is to update description to match usage documented.
The high 32-bit value is nonvolatile and is increased by 1 whenever the system
resets whenever the low 32-bit count (returned by GetNextMonoticCount())
overflows.
->
The high 32-bit value is nonvolatile and is increased by 1 whenever the system
resets, whenever GetNextHighMonotonicCount() is called, or whenever the low
32-bit count (returned by GetNextMonoticCount()) overflows.

zero on every system reset and is increased by 1 on every call to

The GetNextMonotonicCount() function is only available at boot services time.
If the operating system wishes to extend the platform monotonic counter to
runtime,
it may do so by utilizing GetNextHighMonotonicCount(). To do this, before
