sched/x86: Change CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO

Browse Source 
Rename CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT for Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0
to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO.  This makes the configuration extensible
in future to other architectures that wish to similarly establish
CPU core priorities support in the scheduler.

The description in Kconfig is updated to reflect this change with
added details for better clarity.  The configuration is explicitly
default-y, to enable the feature on CPUs that have this feature.

It has no effect on non-TBM3 CPUs.

ITMT enabled scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision
to move tasks to cpu core that can be boosted to a higher frequency
than others. It will have better performance at a cost of slightly
increased overhead in task migrations. If unsure say N here.
Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 enabled CPUs have a
core ordering determined at manufacturing time, which allows
certain cores to reach higher turbo frequencies (when running
single threaded workloads) than others.
Enabling this kernel feature teaches the scheduler about
the TBM3 (aka ITMT) priority order of the CPU cores and adjusts the
scheduler's CPU selection logic accordingly, so that higher
overall system performance can be achieved.
This feature will have no effect on CPUs without this feature.
If unsure say Y here.
