UefiCpuPkg/MpInitLib: Relocate uCode to memory to save time.
Read uCode from memory has better performance than from flash. But it needs extra effort to let BSP copy uCode from flash to memory. Also BSP already enable cache in SEC phase, so it use less time to relocate uCode from flash to memory. After verification, if system has more than one processor, it will reduce some time if load uCode from memory. This change enable this optimization.
