topology2: add nocodec support for real case validation
Sof-mtl-max98357a-rt5682 is used by chrome project. This patch uses nocodec backend for validation so that our CI test can check real production case.
Thank you @RanderWang ! This help us simulate Chrome use scenario in our testing. Maybe we can name it "sof-mtl-mock-chrome-nocodec"? But I feel current name is also good.
Not following @RanderWang, why not use a 'nocodec' topology we already have? Why do we need multiple flavors of nocodec?
Also what does this bring in terms of validation?
You haven't quite described the problem statement and alternatives....
@plbossart The background is that we want to evaluate the impact of multicore timeout issue https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/issues/8642 for Chrome by running a similar topology as Chrome on MTL RVP. That issue is reproduced on MTL RVP with nocodec topology (3 cores, dummy smart amp, 11 concurrent streams). This PR made a topology for 2 cores, no smart amp, AEC on core 2, and less streams.

Ack - this will differentiate and allow stress and developer debug/test.
