x86: add TSC_CONSTANT_RATE option
Some boards use the local apic for udelay(), but they also provide
their own implementation of udelay() for SMM. The reason for using
the local apic for udelay() in ramstage is to not have to pay the
penalty of calibrating the TSC frequency. Therefore provide a
TSC_CONSTANT_RATE option to indicate that TSC calibration is not
needed. Instead rely on the presence of a tsc_freq_mhz() function
provided by the cpu/board. Additionally, assume that if
TSC_CONSTANT_RATE is selected the udelay() function in SMM will
be the tsc.
