soc/intel/alderlake: Enable early caching of RAMTOP region
Enable early caching of the TOM region to optimize the boot time by
selecting `SOC_INTEL_COMMON_BASECODE_RAMTOP` config.
Purpose of this feature is to cache the TOM (with a fixed size of
16MB) for all consecutive boots even before calling into the FSP.
Otherwise, this range remains un-cached until postcar boot stage
updates the MTRR programming. FSP-M and late romstage uses this
uncached TOM range for various purposes (like relocating services
between SPI mapped cached memory to DRAM based uncache memory) hence
having the ability to cache this range beforehand would help to
optimize the boot time (more than 50ms as applicable).
TEST=Able to build and boot Starlab ADL laptop to OS.
