Sets gEfiMdeModulePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEnableVariableRuntimeCache
to FALSE in OvmfPkgIa32.dsc, OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc, and OvmfPkgX64.dsc
so that when SMM_REQUIRE is TRUE, the SMM variable driver will not
use the runtime variable cache.

This is done for OvmfPkg because it currently depends upon a SMM
variable GetVariable ()implementation as a simple method to exercise
the SMM driver stack. This allows the following commands to be used
for variables such as Boot####, BootOrder, and BootNext to test SMM
timing and stability differences on the BSP (e.g. CPU#0) vs an
AP (e.g. CPU#1).
 # taskset -c 0 efibootmgr
 # taskset -c 1 efibootmgr
