    xip: Do not pass --xip for early stages if CAR supports code execution
    
    On modern x86 platforms 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 NO_XIP_EARLY_STAGES which is
    default false for all x86 platforms. Apollolake selects this option
    since it supports code execution with CAR.
