soc/ite/it8xxx2/kconfig: add warning for enable ram code with LTO

[RuibinChang]

Because CONFIG_LTO default is y,
CONFIG_SOC_IT8XXX2_SERIAL_IN_RAM=y
CONFIG_SOC_IT8XXX2_KERNEL_IN_RAM=y
CONFIG_SOC_IT8XXX2_ZEPHYR_IN_RAM=y
These three configs are not effective.

So I add a warning if we enable CONFIG_LTO and put code to EC ram at the same time.

Can you explain why CONFIG_LTO and moving these drivers into RAM cannot be used at the same time?

Can you explain why CONFIG_LTO and moving these drivers into RAM cannot be used at the same time?

In upstream ilm.c, we would copy text section from __ilm_flash_start ~ __ilm_flash_end to __ilm_ram_start ~ __ilm_ram_end (ilm_ram section ), so we can run ram code for better performance.

In downstream linker.ld, we arrange libdrivers__serial, libkernel and libzephyr within __ilm_flash_start/end, if CONFIG_LTO=n, we can see those three .object in our assign region for each functions and text length, but after CONFIG_LTO=y, those three .object in our assign region don't have any bytes, which means nothing will be copied to ilm_ram section.

Below are build with
CONFIG_LTO=y:
