MdeModulePkg: introduce UEFI freed-memory guard bit in HeapGuard PCD
UAF (Use-After-Free) memory issue is kind of illegal access to memory
which has been freed. It can be detected by a new freed-memory guard
enforced onto freed memory.
BIT4 of following PCD is used to enable the freed-memory guard feature.
gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdHeapGuardPropertyMask
Please note this feature is for debug purpose and should not be enabled
in product BIOS, and cannot be enabled with pool/page heap guard at the
same time. It's disabled by default.
