soc/intel/skylake: add option to statically clock gate 8254 timer
In order to save more power by shutting down clocks add the ability to optionally clock gate the 8254 programmable interrupt timer. When doing this the platforms lose their "PC"-ness which certain payloads and OSes rely on such as SeaBIOS.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:50214 BRANCH=glados TEST=Enabled option on chell. Noted the bit is set upon booting.
