drivers/intel/gma: Add override for presence straps

A handful of boards do not properly implement the presence straps,
leading libgfxinit to fail to detect an attached display. Add an
override, defaulting to N, which can be set for affected boards.

Add a section to the documentation detailing the option and its usage.

of `intelvbttool` or `intel_vbt_decode`. below).
Presence straps are configured via the state of certains pins of
the chipset at reset time. They are documented in the chipset's
datasheets. By default, *libgfxinit* honors these straps for
safety. However, some boards don't implement the straps correctly.
If ports are not strapped as implemented by error, one can select
an option to ignore the straps:
select GFX_GMA_IGNORE_PRESENCE_STRAPS
In the opposite case, that ports are strapped as implemented,
but are actually unconnected, one has to make sure that the
list of ports in *coreboot* omits them.

libgfxinit uses the GPU presence straps to determine if a display port
is present/enabled. Select this option if a board doesn't correctly implement
these straps, causing libgfxinit to fail to detect an attached panel.
