nb/intel/haswell: Deprecate WDB params in pei_data
The WDB (Write Data Buffer) is a data region in CAR, used as a scratchpad in the read and write training algorithms of memory initialization. Both SNB and IVB use this buffer, but HSW does not. Unlike earlier chipsets, Haswell contains much more in-hardware memory training machinery, known as REUT (Robust Electrical Unified Testing). Among other changes, the REUT hardware has a pattern storage buffer, which renders the need for a pattern storage buffer in CAR obsolete. Deprecate the WDB-related parameters in the pei_data structure for Haswell, as they are leftovers from the previous generation's MRC. Remove them from the mainboards, and explain why they are not required. Because the MRC ABI has to remain the same, the layout of pei_data must not be changed, so rename the WDB parameters instead of deleting them. Tested on Asrock B85M Pro4, still boots with the MRC from Google Wolf.
