This change fixes support for configs in which the TLSerdesser is unidirectional; that is, cases in which the chip acts as only the manager, and off chip acts as only the client.

This simplifies the memory map for all default designs as we no longer have to add a stub off-chip memory to provide the chip-client/harness-manager link.

Why not use the existing TLDesser/TLSerder, which already do this? Those IMO can be deleted as their implementations are now supported by the generalized TLSerdesser.

Since we support configs now where the serializer only acts as a client to the FBus, a bunch of WithSerialPBusMem fragments can be removed, as these were used to specify where the stub tilelink device sat.

Looks good!

It would be better if we name "serialManager*" as "serialTLManager*", but I think this is also fine.
