drm/i915: Improve long running compute w/a for GuC submission

A workaround was added to the driver to allow compute workloads to run
'forever' by disabling pre-emption on the RCS engine for Gen12.
It is not totally unbound as the heartbeat will kick in eventually
and cause a reset of the hung engine.

However, this does not work well in GuC submission mode. In GuC mode,
the pre-emption timeout is how GuC detects hung contexts and triggers
a per engine reset. Thus, disabling the timeout means also losing all
per engine reset ability. A full GT reset will still occur when the
heartbeat finally expires, but that is a much more destructive and
undesirable mechanism.

The purpose of the workaround is actually to give compute tasks longer
to reach a pre-emption point after a pre-emption request has been
issued. This is necessary because Gen12 does not support mid-thread
pre-emption and compute tasks can have long running threads.

So, rather than disabling the timeout completely, just set it to a
'long' value.

v2: Review feedback from Tvrtko - must hard code the 'long' value
instead of determining it algorithmically. So make it an extra CONFIG
definition. Also, remove the execlist centric comment from the
existing pre-emption timeout CONFIG option given that it applies to
more than just execlists.
