cpu/x86/smm,lib/cbmem_console: Enable CBMEMC when using DEBUG_SMI
This change will allow the SMI handler to write to the cbmem console buffer. Normally SMIs can only be debugged using some kind of serial port (UART). By storing the SMI logs into cbmem we can debug SMIs using `cbmem -1`. Now that these logs are available to the OS we could also verify there were no errors in the SMI handler. Since SMM can write to all of DRAM, we can't trust any pointers provided by cbmem after the OS has booted. For this reason we store the cbmem console pointer as part of the SMM runtime parameters. The cbmem console is implemented as a circular buffer so it will never write outside of this area. BUG=b:221231786 TEST=Boot non-serial FW with DEBUG_SMI and verified SMI messages are visible when running `cbmem -1`. Perform a suspend/resume cycle and verify new SMI events are written to the cbmem console log.
