Kconfig: Allow x86 to compress pre-ram stages if not run XIP
On the intel/glkrvp compressed: - romstage: 29659 - verstage: 31303 non compressed: - romstage: 46244 - verstage: 47012
On qemu (with some additional patch to not run XIP) compressed: - romstage: 11203 non compressed: - romstage: 13924
Even with a small romstage the size improvements are substantial, which should result in a speedup when loading the stage. On the up/squared loading romstage is sped up by 9ms.
TESTED: successfully boot the up/squared & google/vilboz.
