WAIT States from eSPI Slave

There are situations when the slave cannot predict the length of the command packet from the master (PCH). For non-posted transactions, the slave is allowed to respond with a limited number of WAIT states.

A WAIT state is a 1-byte response code. They must be the first set of response byte from the slave after the TAR cycles.
