mrc_cache: Update mrc_cache data in romstage
Previously, we were writing to cbmem after memory training and then writing the training data from cbmem to mrc_cache in ramstage. We were doing this because we were unable to read/write to SPI simultaneously on older x86 chips. Now that newer chips allow for simultaneously reads and writes, we can move the mrc_cache update into romstage. This is beneficial if there is a reboot for some reason after memory training but before the previous mrc_cache_stash_data call originally in ramstage. If this happens, we would lose all the mrc_cache training data in the next boot even though we've already performed the memory training. Added new config BOOT_DEVICE_SPI_FLASH_NO_EARLY_WRITES to accomodate older x86 platforms that don't do mmapping but still want to use the cbmem to store the mrc_cache data in order to write the mrc_cache data back at a later time. We are maintaining the use of cbmem for these older platforms because we have no way of validating the earlier write back to mrc_cache at this time. BUG=b:150502246 BRANCH=None TEST=reboot from ec console. Make sure memory training happens. reboot from ec console. Make sure that we don't do training again.
