soc/intel/common/fast_spi: support caching `ext_bios` in ramstage 

This patch provides a way to cache `ext_bios` region for all stages to
save boot time.

TEST=Able to see the ext_bios region in MTRR snapshot when cached on
the Brya variants.

Here is the timestamp snippet showing the payload load time as a
comparison between current upstream and the patched version:

upstream:
  90:starting to load payload                    1,072,459 (1,802)
 958:calling FspNotify(ReadyToBoot)              12,818,079 (11,745,619)

with this patch:
  90:starting to load payload                    1,072,663 (2,627)
 958:calling FspNotify(ReadyToBoot)              5,299,535 (4,226,871)
