x86: cleanup, rename CONFIG_X86_NON_STANDARD to CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM
Patch to rename the CONFIG_X86_NON_STANDARD to CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM.
The new name represents the subarches better. Also, default this to 'y'
so that many of the sub architectures that were not easily visible now
become visible.
Also re-organize the extended architecture platform and non standard
platform list alphabetically as suggested by Ingo.
