This forces the RFTYPE flags used by resctrl to be exposed to the
architecture specific code.

This doesn't need to be specific to the architecture, the throttle_mode
can be used by resctrl to determine if the 'thread_throttle_mode' file
should be visible. This allows the RFTYPE flags to be private to resctrl.

Add thread_throttle_mode_init(), and use it to call
resctrl_file_fflags_init() from resctrl_init(). This avoids
publishing an extra function between the architecture and filesystem
code.
