sb/intel/common/firmware: Use the -S flag of me_cleaner
The -S flag of me_cleaner, in addition to the standard code removal,
sets the the AltMeDisable bit (ME 6.x-10.x) or the HAP bit (ME 11.x),
which asks Intel ME to stop the execution after the hardware
initialization.
This should bring some advantages:
* The state of Intel ME can be easily obtained by reading the Current
Operation Mode register to trigger specific adjustments in the
raminit (as already done in bd82x6x)
* Intel ME falls into a more defined state, instead of being in a
generic "Image Failure"
* Hopefully, less code is run by Intel ME, as the execution should
stop before even trying to load additional modules
Tested on:
* Nehalem, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge (Nicola Corna)
* Broadwell, Skylake and Kabylake (Youness Alaoui)
If needed, the -S flag can be removed or integrated with other
board-specific options by overriding CONFIG_ME_CLEANER_ARGS.
