[PATCH] MdeModulePkg/Library: Add HiiGetStringEx to UefiHiiLib for EDK2 Redfish

["Abner Chang" <abner.chang@hpe.com>]

Add HiiGetStringEx and leveraged by HiiGetString function to support
getting string with the best language in optionally. This avoids the
string in x-uefi language is misled to the language defined by
"PlatformLang" or the "Supported Languages". This change is introduced
to support x-uefi keyword language for configuring BIOS setting.
