Subject: [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/Core: Merge memory map after filtering paging capability

Once the paging capabilities were filtered out, there might be some adjacent entries sharing the same capabilities. It's recommended to merge those entries for the OS compatibility purpose.

This patch makes use of existing method MergeMemoryMap() to do it. This is done by simply turning this method from static to extern, and call it after filter code.

This patch is related to an issue described at
   https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753

This patch is also passed test of booting follow OSs:
    Windows 10
    Windows Server 2016
    Fedora 26
    Fedora 25
