soc/intel/ehl: Add Kconfig option to disable reset on TCO expiration

The TCO timer is the default watchdog of an x86 host and can reset the
system once it has expired for the second time. There are applications
where this reset is not acceptable while the TCO is used. In these
applications the TCO expire event generates an interrupt and software
takes care. There is a bit in the TCO1_CNT register on Elkhart Lake to
prevent this reset on expiration (called NO_REBOOT, see doc #636722 ).
This bit can either be strapped on hardware or set in this register to
avoid the reset on expiration. While the hardware strap cannot be
overridden in software, the pure software solution is more flexible.
Unfortunately, the location for this bit differs among the different
platforms. This is why it has to be handled on soc level rather than on
TCO common code level.

This commit adds a Kconfig option where NO_REBOOT can be enabled. This
makes it easy to reach this feature over to the mainboard where it can
be selected if needed.

Setting this option will prevent a host reset if the TCO timer expires
for the second time. Since this feature is not exposed to the OS in the
standard TCO interface, this setting can be enabled on firmware level.
This might be useful depending on the TCO policy.
