UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Improve the performance of GetFreeToken()
Today's GetFreeToken() runs at the algorithm complexity of O(n)
where n is the size of the token list.
The change introduces a new global variable FirstFreeToken and it
always points to the first free token. So the algorithm complexity
of GetFreeToken() decreases from O(n) to O(1).
The improvement matters when some SMI code uses StartupThisAP()
service for each of the AP such that the algorithm complexity
becomes O(n) * O(m) where m is the AP count.
As next steps,
1. PROCEDURE_TOKEN.Used field can be optimized out because
all tokens before FirstFreeToken should have "Used" set while all
after FirstFreeToken should have "Used" cleared.
2. ResetTokens() can be optimized to only reset tokens before
FirstFreeToken.
v2: add missing line in InitializeDataForMmMp.
v3: update copyright year to 2020.
