[PATCH] VirtualKeyboardFeaturePkg: Pre OS virtual keyboard touch response are very slow with I2C touch panel

[KalaiyarasanX Thangaraj]

On one Touch, multiple Reads happend and  this reads varying based on Key Press time.
Resulting in Multiple key press update on screen. This condition avoids KeyPressed skips
resulting due to faster key press and update only on valid key press.
