northbridge/intel/i945: CHECK_SLFRCS_ON_RESUME Kconfig option

On some mainboards it may be neccessary to reset early during resume
    from S3 if the SLFRCS register indicates that a memory channel is not
    guaranteed to be in self-refresh.

On other mainboards, such as Lenovo X60 and T60, the check always
    creates false positives, effectively making it impossible to resume.

The SLFRCS register is documented on page 197 of

Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family Datasheet
    Document Number: 309219-006

which is publically available, and the register indicates if a memory
    channel is guaranteed to be in self-refresh mode (if bit = 1), or that
    a memory channel *may or may not be* in self-refresh mode (if bit = 0).

The register can thus only be used to positively learn that memory is
    in self-refresh. It is not known for sure that memory is *not* in
    self-refresh. The register is reset by the PWROK signal, which *should*
    go low during S3, and go high again when resuming, so it is unsurprising
    that SLFRCS has already been cleared when we read the register.

Sven's measurements of the CKE signal on a ThinkPad shows that memory
    remains in self-refresh indefinitely, until coreboot re-initializes the
    memory controller, even when SLFRCS bits were = 0.

Boards which require a warm reset when SLFRCS bits are cleared must now
    explicitly enable the check in the mainboard Kconfig file.

This commit selects the new option in all existing i945 mainboards.
    A follow-up commit will remove the option for ThinkPads.
