Julien Olivain b21e072127 boot/edk2: remove superfluous =TRUE in DEBUG_ON_SERIAL_PORT macro definition
Commit 8e9c8e624f "boot/edk2: introduce a new _OVMF_DEBUG_ON_SERIAL
option" adds a build macro definition with a "=TRUE" value.

edk2 OVMF readme suggests to define the "DEBUG_ON_SERIAL_PORT" macro
_without_ the "=TRUE" in [1].

The example build.sh script calls build to set the macro _with_
"=TRUE" in [2].

The "Build_Utility_Man_Page.rtf" documentation in [3] does not specify
either what exactly happen when a macro is defined without any value.

Looking at the "build.py" code in [4] shows that a macro definition of
the form "-DMYMACRO" is indeed equivalent as "-DMYMACRO=TRUE". This
was also tested with a qemu virt x86_64 grub2 EFI boot image, to
verify behaviors remain the same.

This commit removes the superfluous "=TRUE" as requested by Yann in [5].

Removing the "=TRUE" make it a bit clearer that it is the macro
definition itself that will enable the feature, rather than its
value. Defining, -DDEBUG_ON_SERIAL_PORT=FALSE (OFF, 0, or anything
else that would suggest the feature is disabled) would do the
opposite of the desired effect, and enable the feature.
