lib/stage_cache: Refactor Kconfig options
Add explicit CBMEM_STAGE_CACHE option. Rename CACHE_RELOCATED_RAMSTAGE_OUTSIDE_CBMEM to TSEG_STAGE_CACHE. Platforms with SMM_TSEG=y always need to implement stage_cache_external_region(). It is allowed to return with a region of size 0 to effectively disable the cache. There are no provisions in Kconfig to degrade from TSEG_STAGE_CACHE to CBMEM_STAGE_CACHE. As a security measure CBMEM_STAGE_CACHE default is changed to disabled. AGESA platforms without TSEG will experience slower S3 resume speed unless they explicitly select the option.
