x86/bugs: Add a separate config for TAA

Browse Source 
Currently, the CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is halfway populated,
where some mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and they could be
modified, while others mitigations do not have Kconfig entries, and
could not be controlled at build time.

Create an entry for the TAA CPU mitigation under
CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS. This allow users to enable or disable
it at compilation time.

Enable mitigation for TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA). TAA is a hardware
vulnerability that allows unprivileged speculative access to data
which is available in various CPU internal buffers by using
asynchronous aborts within an Intel TSX transactional region.
