x86/bugs: Add a separate config for GDS

Currently, the CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is halfway populated, where some
mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and they could be modified, while others
mitigations do not have Kconfig entries, and could not be controlled at build
time.

Create a new kernel config that allows GDS to be completely disabled,
similarly to the "gather_data_sampling=off" or "mitigations=off" kernel
command-line.

Now, there are two options for GDS mitigation:

* CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS=n -> Mitigation disabled (New)
* CONFIG_MITIGATION_GDS=y -> Mitigation enabled (GDS_MITIGATION_FULL)

Enable mitigation for Gather Data Sampling (GDS). GDS is a hardware
vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data
which was previously stored in vector registers. The attacker uses gather
instructions to infer the stale vector register data.
