sched/x86: Change CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO

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.
