    xip: Do not pass --xip for romstage and verstage if CAR supports code
    execution
    
    On modern x86 platform like apollolake, pre-RAM stages verstage and
    romstage run within the cache-as-ram region. Thus, we do not need to
    pass in the --xip parameter to cbfstool while adding these
    stages. Introduce a new Kconfig variable XIP_STAGES which is default
    true for only those X86 platforms that do not support
    C_ENVIRONMENT_BOOTBLOCK.
