Kconfig: Allow x86 to compress pre-ram stages if not run XIP
On the intel/glkrvp
compressed:
- romstage: 29659
- verstage: 31303
non compressed:
- romstage: 46244
- verstage: 47012
On qemu (with some additional patch to not run XIP)
compressed:
- romstage: 11203
non compressed:
- romstage: 13924
Even with a small romstage the size improvements are substantial,
which should result in a speedup when loading the stage. On the
up/squared loading romstage is sped up by 9ms.
TESTED: successfully boot the up/squared & google/vilboz.

Compress romstage and (if it exists) verstage with LZ4 to save flash
space and speed up boot, since the time for reading the image from SPI
(and in the vboot case verifying it) is usually much greater than the
- time spent decompressing. Doesn't work for XIP stages (assume all
- ARCH_X86 for now) for obvious reasons.
