[edk2] [PATCH 4/6] BaseTools/DevicePath: use MAX_UINT16 as default device path max size

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Replace the default size limit of IsDevicePathValid() with a value
that does not depend on the native word size of the build host.

64 KB seems sufficient as the upper bound of a device path handled
by UEFI.
