With the SerialDxe change in commit 4cf3f37c87ba ("MdeModulePkg SerialDxe:
Process timeout consistently in SerialRead", 2017-07-18), setting
EFI_SERIAL_INPUT_BUFFER_EMPTY in the "Control" output parameter, in the
GetControl() SerialPortLib function, is no longer a "small optimization".
Namely, due to the SerialDxe change, the GetOneKeyFromSerial() call in
TerminalDxe's TerminalConInTimerHandler() can take very long if the input
queue is empty, even if GetOneKeyFromSerial()'s return value causes the
loop to be exited right after, in the first iteration.

This issue causes a boot hang in ArmVirtQemu: with the input queue empty,
TerminalConInTimerHandler() takes so long to return that, by the time it
returns, there's another execution queued already (due to the associated
timer event being signaled meanwhile). The boot process is stuck in the
timer event handler.

Therefore even the first GetOneKeyFromSerial() iteration must be prevented
in TerminalConInTimerHandler() if the input queue is empty, and that
requires implementing GetControl() for real.

Implement the SetAttributes(), SetControl() and GetControl() APIs (of
SerialPortExtLib origin) in FdtPL011SerialPortLib with calls to matching
PL011UartLib functions. This follows the example of
"ArmPlatformPkg/Library/PL011SerialPortLib" and also matches Star's
original idea under [1].

The patch can be considered a continuation of commit ad7f6bc2e116
("ArmVirtPkg: Use SerialDxe in MdeModulePkg instead of EmbeddedPkg",
2015-11-26), based on the mailing list threads [1] [2] [3].
