I got what you mean by "Tools_def.txt doesn’t support build flag" now. I
thought the parser does support some sort of if/else condition, but it
seems to be not the case. Alternatively, we can do this during the copy
(from template to tools_def.txt), but everytime we need to recreate
tools_def.txt which is not ideal).

In that case, I think we should just roll back to only doing this in
UefiPayloadPkg.dsc. If other packs want to add these flags, they will need
to do it on their own.
