Re: Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg

["Gao, Liming" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

Leif:
  If all Stewards agree this change to remove MdeModulePkg Tcp4Dxe/UefiPxeBcDxe/IScsiDxe, we will try to include it in edk2-stable201811 stable tag. 

Andrew and Mike:
  Do you agree this change to happen in near edk2-stable201811 stable tag?

Thanks
Liming
