device/Kconfig: Add an option to allocate above 4G by default

Historically resource allocation in coreboot was 32bit x86 thing. To
remain compatible with this behavior (e.g. to keep 32bit payloads
happy), resource allocation limits resources to 32 bits unless
explicitly overridden. However this behavior is not always appropriate:
e.g. on non x86 platforms the PCIe mem decode window could be above 4G.
Another case on x86 is where the decode window(s) below 4G are not
adequate for fitting all resources and the payload is 64bit
capable (e.g. Linux).

This adds a Kconfig flag to override the behavior to limit resources to
32bit by default and to allocate resources according to the real
hardware limits.
