Wonkyu Kim 359ae67668 elog: Handle elog in later boot phase
Use POSTPONE_SPI_ACCESS to handle elog data later boot phase to avoid
flash access delay by other boot controllers.

Intel has pre-CPU boot controllers (e.g. CSE) which load non-CPU
firmwares. Boot-critical firmwares are loaded before CPU reset and
non-boot-critical firmwares are loaded during CPU boot. If another
controller accesses SPI to load firmwares, reading SPI by CPU is ok,
but writing to SPI for saving elog data can take ~32ms sometimes.
Saving elog data usually takes less than 1ms.

There are three elog handling sequences that need to move together
under the Kconfig:
- Soc folder
- Elog driver folder
- ChromeOS folder

Before this change, sometimes it delays like below:
BS: callback (0x7386d428) @ src/soc/intel/pantherlake/elog.c:216 (32 ms)
After this change, the delay is less than 1 ms:
BS: callback (0x7386d3e8) @ src/soc/intel/pantherlake/elog.c:213 (0 ms)

TEST
1. Enable DEBUG_BOOT_STATE
2. Check time
BS: callback (0x7386d3e8) @ src/soc/intel/pantherlake/elog.c:213 (0 ms))
