x86: timer: Reduce timer code size in TPL on Intel CPUs

Browse Source 
Most of the timer-calibration methods are not needed on recent Intel CPUs
and just increase code size. Add an option to use the known-good way to
get the clock frequency in TPL. Size reduction is about 700 bytes.

Note that version 1 of this commit caused bootstage to crash since the CPU
was not identified. This is corrected by changes previously applied to
make sure that the CPU is identified before spl_init() is called, such as

Selects native timer calibration for TPL and don't include the other
methods in the code. This helps to reduce code size in TPL and works
on fairly modern Intel chips. Code-size reductions is about 700
bytes.
