StandaloneMmPkg/Core: Remove optimization for depex evaluation

The current dependency evaluator violates the memory access permission
when patching depex grammar directly in the read-only depex memory area.

Laszlo pointed out the optimization issue in the thread (1) "Memory
Attribute for depex section" and provided suggested patch to remove the
perf optimization.

In my testing, removing the optimization does not make significant perf
reduction. That makes sense that StandaloneMM dispatcher only searches
in MM protocol database and does not depend on UEFI/DXE protocol
database. Also, we don't have many protocols in StandaloneMM like
UEFI/DXE.

From Laszlo,

"The patch removes the EFI_DEP_REPLACE_TRUE handling altogether, plus it
CONST-ifies the Iterator pointer (which points into the DEPEX section),
so that the compiler catch any possible accesses at *build time* that
would write to the write-protected DEPEX memory area."
