Add a dedicated GHES_CPER_HELPERS Kconfig entry so the shared helper code
can be built even when ACPI_APEI_GHES is disabled. Update the build glue

I guess it doesn't matter too much as in practice all exiting CXL systems
are ACPI based, but is this new symbol sufficient for the
CONFIG_CXL_RAS dependency?

Rest of this looks fine to me.


CONFIG_CXL_RAS still depends on ACPI_APEI_GHES which in turn selects
GHES_CPER_HELPERS so the existing dependency for CXL RAS is unchanged.
The new symbol is intended as internal build glue under ACPI_APEI_GHES, rather than a change to the CXL RAS dependency model.
