Philip Taffner 4ba028e740 Removes serial.out from bochs config for massive performance boost on
cluster runs.

If this output file is enabled, all running processes try to write to the
same file on the shared filesystem. They block each other which leads to
massive I/O wait time and CPU idle time.

This change reduces the runtime e.g. from several hours (12+) to few minutes
(20).
