    soc/intel/skylake: add option to statically clock gate 8254 timer
    
    In order to save more power by shutting down clocks add the
    ability to optionally clock gate the 8254 programmable interrupt
    timer.  When doing this the platforms lose their "PC"-ness which
    certain payloads and OSes rely on such as SeaBIOS.
    
    BUG=chrome-os-partner:50214
    BRANCH=glados
    TEST=Enabled option on chell. Noted the bit is set upon booting.
