console: Squelch console output from AP CPUs in romstage
Add Kconfig option SQUELCH_EARLY_SMP and have it enabled by
default.
Console drivers have unpredictable results if multiple threads
attempt to share same resources without spinlock. Serial UARTs
have not had huge problems, only distorted output, but those
relying on cache-as-ram (CBMEM and usbdebug) may require this.
