intel/common/block/cse: Add option to send EOP early via SoC

Earlier while trying to optimize boot time End Of Post (EOP) time kept
increasing (~80 ms) when boot time decreased to around 1 second.
This was because CSE was busy with own firmware loading.

When EOP was moved later in boot stage it again created issue since CSE
got busy with other payload loading for OS boot, so response to EOP
got delayed by ~70-80 ms.

In order to avoid delayed response, coreboot has to send EOP in
stage when CSE is done with firmware init and it will be ready to
serve EOP as soon as possible. This also aligns with previous flow
where FSP used to send EOP once silicon init is done and coreboot used
to rely on FSP to send this message.

Moving EOP to BS_DEV_INIT boot state meets this requirement and CSE EOP
time reduces from ~60 ms to ~20 ms on Brya QS board.

Since this setting might vary for each SoC, SoCs can decide when to send
EOP in the boot sequence. This patch adds Kconfig option to send EOP via
SoC

BUG=b:211085685
BRANCH=firmware-brya-14505.B
TEST=Code compilation is fine for Brya board. Boot time test is done
using entire patchset and EOP time is reduced to ~25ms from earlier ~80ms.
