x86/cpu: Provide a config option to disable static_cpu_has

This brings .text savings of about ~1.6K when building a tinyconfig. It
is off by default so nothing changes for the default.

Some fast-paths in the kernel depend on the capabilities of the CPU.
Say Y here for the kernel to patch in the appropriate code at runtime

code at runtime takes up some additional space; space-constrained
embedded systems may wish to say N here to produce smaller, slightly
