soc/intel/common: Select USE_LEGACY_8254_TIMER

Always select USE_LEGACY_8254_TIMER if we know we have to.

Default to y as there might be legacy software not under our control
that needs the 8254 timer.
Add a comment to evaluate if this should be changed to 'default n' in
10 years from now.

The following software needs 8254 timer:
* SeaBios
* Option ROMs
* GRUB <2.03
* Linux <5.3

Fixes boot failure on SeaBios and GRUB2 bootloader on X11SSH-TF using
SeaBIOS as payload.
