x86: fix XIP SOC support and defaults



XIP support in x86 was something of a mess. This
patch does the following:

- Generic ia32 SOC no longer defines a "flash" region
  as generic X86 devices don't have a microcontroller-
  like concept of flash. The same has been done for apollo_lake.
- Generic ia32 and apollo_lake SOCs starts memory at 1MB.
- Generic ia32 SOC may optionally have CONFIG_XIP enabled.
  The board definition must provide a flash region definition
  that gets exposed as DT_PHYS_LOAD_ADDR.
- Fixed definitions for RAM/ROM source addresses in ia32's
  linker.ld when XIP is turned off.
- Support for enabling XIP on apollo_lake SOC removed, there's
  no use-case.
- acrn and gpmrb boards have flash and XIP related definitions
  removed.
- qemu_x86 has a fake flash region added, immediately after system
  RAM, for use when XIP is enabled. This used to be in the ia32 SOC.
  However, the default for qemu_x86 is to now have XIP disabled.
- Fixed tests/kernel/xip to run by default on boards that enable
  XIP by default, plus an additional test to exercise XIP on
  qemu_x86 (which supports it but has XIP switched off by default)

The overall effect of this patch is to:

- Remove XIP configuration for SOC/boards where it does not make
  any sense to have it
- Support testing XIP on qemu_x86 via tests/kernel/xip, but leave
  it off by default for other tests, to ensure it doesn't bit-rot
  and that the system works in both scenarios.
- XIP remains an available feature for boards that need it.

Fixes: #18956
