soc/intel: Rename IA common code module from `TOM` to `RAMTOP`
This patch renames all references of `top_of_ram` (TOM) in IA common `basecode` module (for example: functions, variables, Kconfig, Makefile and comments) with `ramtop` aka top_of_ram to make it more meaningful and to avoid conflicts with Intel SA chipset TOM registers. BUG=Able to build and boot google/rex with the same ~49ms savings in place.

+ Driver code to store the top_of_ram (RAMTOP) address into
+ non-volatile space (CMOS) during the first boot and use
+ it across all consecutive boot.
+
+ Purpose of this driver code is to cache the RAMTOP (with a
+ fixed size) 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 RAMTOP range for various purposes and having the
+ ability to cache this range beforehand would help to optimize the boot
+ time (more than 50ms).
