UefiCpuPkg/PiSmmCpuDxeSmm: Clarification for BSP & APs Sync Flow

This patch does not impact functionality. It aims to clarify the
synchronization flow between the BSP and APs to enhance code
readability and understanding:

Steps tianocore#6 and tianocore#11 are the basic synchronization requirements for all
cases.

Steps #1 is additional requirements if the MmCpuSyncModeTradition
mode is selected.

Steps #1, #2, #3, tianocore#4, tianocore#5, tianocore#7, tianocore#8, tianocore#9, and tianocore#10 are additional
requirements if the system needs to configure the MTRR.

Steps tianocore#9 and tianocore#10 are additional requirements if the system needs to
support the mSmmDebugAgentSupport.
