arch: x86: add IPC mailbox accessor function and add SoC register access

- Exports intel_pmc_ipc() for host access to the PMC IPC mailbox
- Enables the host to access specific SoC registers through the PMC
firmware using IPC commands. This access method is necessary for
registers that are not available through direct Memory-Mapped I/O (MMIO),
which is used for other accessible parts of the PMC.
