arch_topology: obtain cpu capacity using information from CPPC

Define topology_init_cpu_capacity_cppc() to use highest performance
values from _CPC objects to obtain and set maximum capacity information
for each CPU. acpi_cppc_processor_probe() is a good point at which to
trigger the initialization of CPU (u-arch) capacity values, as at this
point the highest performance values can be obtained from each CPU's
_CPC objects. Architectures can therefore use this functionality
through arch_init_invariance_cppc().

The performance scale used by CPPC is a unified scale for all CPUs in
the system. Therefore, by obtaining the raw highest performance values
from the _CPC objects, and normalizing them on the [0, 1024] capacity
scale, used by the task scheduler, we obtain the CPU capacity of each
CPU.

While an ACPI Notify(0x85) could alert about a change in the highest
performance value, which should in turn retrigger the CPU capacity
computations, this notification is not currently handled by the ACPI
processor driver. When supported, a call to arch_init_invariance_cppc()
would perform the update.
