x86/platform/uv/BAU: Disable software timeout on UV4 hardware

Software timeouts are not currently supported on BAU for UV4. Instead, the
BAU will rely on hardware-level fairness protocols to determine broadcast
timeouts.

Do not call enable_timeouts or calculate_destination_timeout on UV4. These
functions write to pre-UV4 MMRs so they generate error messages on UV4.
