    console/Kconfig: Enable CBMEM console by default
    
    Thanks to Kyösti Mälkki’s Google Summer of Code 2013 work, console
    output to CBMEM (CBMEM console) for ramstage messages works on all
    boards. For romstage messages it works for Intel boards from the i945
    chipset on, but it does not work yet for AMD boards.
    
    The board status script under `util/board_status/` reads the coreboot
    messages from CBMEM, which are then uploaded to the board status
    repository. With CBMEM console disabled by default, currently no
    coreboot console messages are uploaded to the board status repository.
    Enabling CBMEM console by default improves this situation, so that at
    least ramstage messages are stored in the board status repository.
