soc/intel/alderlake: Set Energy Perf Bias appropriate default value 

The current "normal" EPB (six) setting resulted in the desired out of
box power and performance for several CPU generations.

However, a power and performance analysis on Alder Lake and Raptor
Lake CPUs demonstrates that this value results in undesirable higher
uncore power and that seven is a more appropriate value.

Note: the Linux kernel "4ecc933b x86: intel_epb: Allow model specific
      normal EPB value" patch sets the EPB to 7 for Alder Lake.

BRANCH=firmware-brya-14505.B
BUG=b:239853069
TEST=verify that EPB is set by coreboot
