x86/bugs: Remove GDS Force Kconfig option
Remove the MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE Kconfig option, which aggressively disables
AVX as a mitigation for Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerabilities. This
option is not widely used by distros.
While removing the Kconfig option, retain the runtime configuration ability
through the `gather_data_sampling=force` kernel parameter. This allows users
to still enable this aggressive mitigation if needed, without baking it into
the kernel configuration.
Simplify the kernel configuration while maintaining flexibility for runtime
mitigation choices.
