soc/intel/apollolake: Add Kconfig switch to enable max efficiency clock

Add a Kconfig switch to be able to set the CPU clock to maximum
efficiency mode. If enabled the CPU will be clocked with the lowest
possible frequency while consuming as little power as possible.

 	  Some Apollo Lake mainboards do not need the Running Average Power
 	  Limits (RAPL) algorithm for a constant power management.
 	  Set this config option to skip the RAPL configuration.

+	  If the power budget of the mainboard is limited, it can be useful to
+	  limit the CPU power dissipation at the cost of performance by setting

 # M and N divisor values for clock frequency configuration.
 # These values get us a 1.836 MHz clock (ideally we want 1.843 MHz)
