This change is made given a request from Ard. The CC capability is not
applied to other system memory ranges that probably should also have
that capability, given that it's encrypted and accepted. I haven't
considered carefully where EFI_MEMORY_CPU_CRYPTO should be added to
conventional memory, given the acceptance happens before DXE
initializes. Perhaps
CoreConvertResourceDescriptorHobAttributesToCapabilities? This is more
of a question to Ard and Thomas.
