platform/x86/intel: Remove X86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_INTEL
[ Upstream commit 4f6c131c3c31b9f68470ebd01320d5403d8719bb ]
While introduction of this menu brings a nice view in the configuration tools,
it brought more issues than solves, i.e. it prevents to locate files in the
intel/ subfolder without touching non-related Kconfig dependencies elsewhere.
Drop X86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_INTEL altogether.
Note, on x86 it's enabled by default and it's quite unlikely anybody wants to
disable all of the modules in this submenu.
