soc/intel/tigerlake: Disable C1 C-state Demotion 

Disable C1 C-state auto demotion to decrease SoC power usage.

When set, processor will conditionally demote C3/C6/C7 requests
to C1 based on uncore auto-demote information.

BUG=b:161215906
TEST=Measure and confirm SoC power usage reduction for key use cases
 eg 'Google Meets video call'

Measured on instrumented boards for Volteer EVT and Delbin.

Below measurements for Volteer:

Google meets with 720p 	w/ auto-demotion   w/o auto-demotion
System Power 	        13.14W	              9.4W
SOC Power 	         7.9W	              5.4W
