src/*/intel/: clarify Kconfig options regarding IFD
HAVE_INTEL_FIRMWARE is used to enable certain options that rely on a valid
Inter Flash Descriptor to exist. It does *not* identify platforms or boards
that are capable of running in descriptor mode if it's valid.
Refine the help text to make this clear.
Introduce a new option INTEL_DESCRIPTOR_MODE_CAPABLE that does simply
declare that IFD is supported by the platform. Select this value everywhere
instead of the HAVE_INTEL_FIRMWARE and default HAVE_INTEL_FIRMWARE to
y if INTEL_DESCRIPTOR_MODE_CAPABLE is selected.
Move the QEMU Q35 special case (deselection of HAVE_INTEL_FIRMWARE) to
the mainboard directory.
