BaseTools/tools_def.template: Remove the hardcoded path for 'iasl' on Unix system

Most Linux distributions do not provide an up to date IASL compiler.
This older IASL compilers fail to build recent ACPI tables.

We could expect more regular update of the ACPI spec after its governance
moved to a larger organisation (the UEFI Forum). Engineers would need to
update their IASL compiler more often.

The OS environment variable IASL_PREFIX allows to define a specific IASL
compiler. Otherwise, the binary in the PATH would be used.
