cpu/amd/fam10h-fam15h: Add CMOS option to disable CPB (core boost)

On certain systems and CPUs Core Performance Boost (CPB) may cause
    sporadic system lockups.  This issue is also somewhat known on the
    various proprietary BIOSes, therefore it seems to be a hardware
    incompatibility when present.

Allow the user to disable CBP if needed.
