x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline param
We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on
every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had
marginal electricals 15-years ago. If those machines are still running
the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll". The only difference
will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt().
