soc/intel/elkhartlake: Clear RTC_BATTERY_DEAD

Normally for vboot-enabled x86 board, the VBNV region is stored in CMOS
and backed up to flash (RW_NVRAM). However, on the very first boot after
a flash of the full SPI image (so RW_NVRAM is empty), if
RTC_BATTERY_DEAD is set, coreboot persistently requests recovery before
FSP-M finishes (which appears to be the current location that
RTC_BATTERY_DEAD is cleared on this platform). This is because
vbnv_cmos_failed() will still return 1. Therefore, immediately after
reading RTC_BATTERY_DEAD, it is cleared. This prevents an infinite boot
loop when trying to set the recovery mode bit.

Note that this was the behavior for previous generations of Intel PMC
programming as well (see southbridge/intel, soc/skylake, soc/broadwell,
etc).
