x86/bugs: Add a separate config for Spectre V2

Currently, the CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is halfway populated,
where some mitigations have entries in Kconfig, and they could be
modified, while others mitigations do not have Kconfig entries, and
could not be controlled at build time.

Create an entry for the Spectre V2 CPU mitigation under
CONFIG_SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS. This allow users to enable or disable
it at compilation time.

+         Enable mitigation for Spectre V2 (Branch Target Injection). Spectre
+         V2 is a class of side channel attacks that takes advantage of
+         indirect branch predictors inside the processor. In Spectre variant 2
+         attacks, the attacker can steer speculative indirect branches in the
+         victim to gadget code by poisoning the branch target buffer of a CPU
+         used for predicting indirect branch addresses.
