ACPI, APEI, Add ERST record ID cache

APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users
in mind.  For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1,
2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via
GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow,

reader 1		reader 2
1
			2
3
			4
-1
			-1

where -1 signals there is no more record ID.

Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no
chance to check record 1 and 3.  And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will
return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any
record even they are not cleared by anyone.

This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple
users.

To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and
implemented.  When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by
GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to
caller.  So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID
available.
