/**
  Produces a Null-terminated Unicode string in an output buffer based on 
  a Null-terminated Unicode format string and a VA_LIST argument list
  
  Produces a Null-terminated Unicode string in the output buffer specified by StartOfBuffer
  and BufferSize.  
  The Unicode string is produced by parsing the format string specified by FormatString.  
  Arguments are pulled from the variable argument list specified by Marker based on the 
  contents of the format string.  
  The number of Unicode characters in the produced output buffer is returned not including
  the Null-terminator.
  If BufferSize is 0 or 1, then no output buffer is produced and 0 is returned.

  If BufferSize > 1 and StartOfBuffer is NULL, then ASSERT().
  If BufferSize > 1 and StartOfBuffer is not aligned on a 16-bit boundary, then ASSERT().
  If BufferSize > 1 and FormatString is NULL, then ASSERT().
  If BufferSize > 1 and FormatString is not aligned on a 16-bit boundary, then ASSERT().
  If PcdMaximumUnicodeStringLength is not zero, and FormatString contains more than 
  PcdMaximumUnicodeStringLength Unicode characters not including the Null-terminator, then
  ASSERT().
  If PcdMaximumUnicodeStringLength is not zero, and produced Null-terminated Unicode string
  contains more than PcdMaximumUnicodeStringLength Unicode characters not including the
  Null-terminator, then ASSERT().

  @param  StartOfBuffer   A pointer to the output buffer for the produced Null-terminated 
                          Unicode string.
  @param  BufferSize      The size, in bytes, of the output buffer specified by StartOfBuffer.
  @param  FormatString    Null-terminated Unicode format string.
  @param  Marker          VA_LIST marker for the variable argument list.
  
  @return The number of Unicode characters in the produced output buffer not including the
          Null-terminator.
