[Patch v8 1/2] MdePkg: Fix SafeString performing assertions on runtime checks

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2054

Runtime checks returned via status return code should not work as
assertions to permit parsing not trusted data with SafeString
interfaces.  Replace ASSERT() with a DEBUG_VERBOSE message.
