[meta-intel] [PATCH 00/12] microcode feature enhancements

[nitin.a.kamble at intel.com]

From: Nitin A Kamble <nitin.a.kamble at intel.com>

These commits further improve the Intel microcode updating support for
meta-intel BSPs. 

The commits provide:

* a machine feature for opting in the microcode update functionality.
* a BSP sepcific way to filter the desired microcodes from the intel microcode data file.
* Documentation for the Intel microcode feature in the README.hardware file.
* enable the intel-microcode feature for bunch of the meta-intel BSPs.
* enable the microcode filtering for the fri2-noemgd BSP.

This has taken the feedback from the last discussions, and tested on multiple BSPs.

Thanks,
Nitin
