Add new syntax to the DEC file for specifying
information that can only be used by modules
within the package. When modules outside the
packages attempt to use this content, the EDK
II build system must break with an error
regarding content not found.

The four sections, Includes, Ppis, Guids and
Protocols headers will be modified with a keyword,
Private following the architecture modifier. If
Private is not present, then the content is usable
by modules outside the package.
