soc/intel/apollolake: Add Kconfig switch to enable minimum clock ratio
Add a Kconfig switch to be able to set the CPU clock to the lowest
possible ratio. If enabled the CPU will consume as little power as
possible while providing the lowest performance.
This setting can be overruled by the OS if it has an p-state driver
which can adjust the clock to its need.

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.
