x86/microcode: Hide the config knob

In reality CONFIG_MICROCODE is enabled in any reasonable configuration when Intel or AMD support is enabled. Accommodate to reality.

-	help
-	  If you say Y here, you will be able to update the microcode on
-	  Intel and AMD processors. The Intel support is for the IA32 family,
-	  e.g. Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Xeon etc. The
-	  AMD support is for families 0x10 and later. You will obviously need
-	  the actual microcode binary data itself which is not shipped with
-	  the Linux kernel.
-
-	  The preferred method to load microcode from a detached initrd is described
-	  in Documentation/arch/x86/microcode.rst. For that you need to enable
-	  CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD in order for the loader to be able to scan the
-	  initrd for microcode blobs.
-
-	  In addition, you can build the microcode into the kernel. For that you
-	  need to add the vendor-supplied microcode to the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
-	  config option.
