intel/skylake: ensure the RTC time is set
In 2014 or so the RTC code was changed to assume the ALTCENTRY register (0x32) as always being utilized for creating an rtc_time. However, one needs to ensure it's set at least once otherwise the year field in rtc_time is not sane.
In practice this doesn't matter unless somone wants to use the full year value. cmos_init() should do the same thing in the rtc fail case, but the machine I had never had that set correctly.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:47388 BRANCH=None TEST=Booted glados w/ 0xff ALTCENTRY value. New value is 0x20.
