It has been many years since the last confirmed sighting (and fix) of an RC6 related bug (usually a system hang). Remove the parameter to stop users from setting dangerous values, as they often set it during triage and end up disabling the entire runtime pm instead (the option is not a fine scalpel!). Furthermore, it allows users to set known dangerous values which were intended for testing and not for production use. For testing, we can always patch in the required setting without having to expose ourselves to random abuse. v2: Fixup NEEDS_WaRsDisableCoarsePowerGating fumble, and document the lack of ilk support better. v3: Clear intel_info->rc6p if we don't support rc6 itself.

I think that for execution/debug on early silicon we might still want the ability to turn features like RC6 off. Maybe we can add a debug kconfig to force info->has_rc6 = 0? Not a blocker to this patch but worth considering IMO.
