arch/x86: Include timestamp.c in all stages
timestamp.c was not included in bootblock and postcar. This means that
these two stages would use the weak implementation in lib/timestamp.c
instead of the arch-specific implementation based on rdtsc.
This resulted in using timer_monotonic_get() which resets the
timestamps from 0. timer_monotonic_get() only provides per-stage
incrementing semantics on x86 because lapic implementation has
counting down values. A globally incrementing counter like rdtsc
provides the semantics like every other non-x86.
On the test configuration, the weak implementation of timestamp_get()
returned zero, resulting in wrong timestamps coming from the bootblock,
while romstage and ramstage used the arch implementation and returned
correct timestamps.
This is a great example of why weak functions are dangerous, and how
easy it is to miss subtle yet strong interactions between subsystems
and the coreboot buildsystem.
