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().

What: x86_32 "no-hlt" cmdline param
When: 2012
Why: remove a branch from idle path, simplify code used by everybody.
This option disabled the use of HLT in idle and machine_halt()
for hardware that was flakey 15-years ago. Today we have
"idle=poll" that removed HLT from idle, and so if such a machine
is still running the upstream kernel, "idle=poll" is likely sufficient.
