- adapt commit 0bc77c63de03 (code and commit message) to upstream commit
  390b95a49c14 ("MdeModulePkg/TerminalDxe: Refine
  InitializeTerminalConsoleTextMode", 2017-01-10).

When the console output is multiplexed to several devices by
ConSplitterDxe, then ConSplitterDxe builds an intersection of text modes
supported by all console output devices.

Two notable output devices are provided by:
(1) MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/GraphicsConsoleDxe,
(2) MdeModulePkg/Universal/Console/TerminalDxe.

GraphicsConsoleDxe supports four modes at most -- see
InitializeGraphicsConsoleTextMode() and "mGraphicsConsoleModeData":

(1a) 80x25 (required by the UEFI spec as mode 0),
(1b) 80x50 (not necessarily supported, but if it is, then the UEFI spec
     requires the driver to provide it as mode 1),
(1c) 100x31 (corresponding to graphics resolution 800x600, which the UEFI
     spec requires from all plug-in graphics devices),
(1d) "full screen" resolution, derived form the underlying GOP's
     horizontal and vertical resolutions with division by EFI_GLYPH_WIDTH
     (8) and EFI_GLYPH_HEIGHT (19), respectively.

The automatic "full screen resolution" makes GraphicsConsoleDxe's
character console very flexible. However, TerminalDxe (which runs on
serial ports) only provides the following fixed resolutions -- see
InitializeTerminalConsoleTextMode() and "mTerminalConsoleModeData":

(2a) 80x25 (required by the UEFI spec as mode 0),
(2b) 80x50 (since the character resolution of a serial device cannot be
     interrogated easily, this is added unconditionally as mode 1),
(2c) 100x31 (since the character resolution of a serial device cannot be
     interrogated easily, this is added unconditionally as mode 2).

When ConSplitterDxe combines (1) and (2), multiplexing console output to
both video output and serial terminal, the list of commonly supported text
modes (ie. the "intersection") comprises:

(3a) 80x25, unconditionally, from (1a) and (2a),
(3b) 80x50, if the graphics console provides at least 640x950 pixel
     resolution, from (1b) and (2b)
(3c) 100x31, if the graphics device is a plug-in one (because in that case
     800x600 is a mandated pixel resolution), from (1c) and (2c).

Unfortunately, the "full screen resolution" (1d) of the GOP-based text
console is not available in general.

Mitigate this problem by extending "mTerminalConsoleModeData" with a
handful of text resolutions that are derived from widespread maximal pixel
resolutions. This way TerminalDxe won't cause ConSplitterDxe to filter out
the most frequent (1d) values from the intersection, and eg. the MODE
command in the UEFI shell will offer the "best" (ie. full screen)
resolution too.

Upstreaming efforts for this patch have been discontinued; it was clear
from the off-list thread that consensus was impossible to reach.
