[PATCH v3 1/1] MdePkg/Base.h: Simplify alignment expressions

["Pedro Falcato" <pedro.falcato@gmail.com>]

Simplify ALIGN_VALUE and ALIGN_VALUE_ADDEND into simpler expressions.

ALIGN_VALUE can simply be a (value + (align - 1)) & ~align
expression, which works for any power of 2 alignment and generates
smaller code sequences. For instance:
	ALIGN_VALUE(15, 16) = (15 + 15) & ~16 = 16
	ALIGN_VALUE(16, 16) = (16 + 15) & ~16 = 16

Old codegen:
	movq    %rdi, %rax
	negq    %rax
	andl    $15, %eax
	addq    %rdi, %rax

New codegen:
	leaq    15(%rdi), %rax
	andq    $-16, %rax

ALIGN_VALUE_ADDEND can simply use the negation of Value to get the
addend for alignment, as, for instance:
	-15 & (16 - 1) = 1
	15 + 1 = 16

This change does not necessarily affect the end result, as the GCC and
clang compilers were already able to see through things and optimize
them into optimal instruction sequences, in the ALIGN_VALUE_ADDEND case.

Changes:
	- Correct the ADDEND macro to use negation and not a binary NOT (thanks Liming!)
