The EC reports a threshold of 0 K for host thresholds that are not
configured. Most Framework Computer systems don't use all thresholds.
E.g. temp_host_warn is left unset and stays at its -273 C / 0 K
default), see the EC code in zephyr/shim/src/thermal.c:

  DT_PROP_OR(node_id, temp_host_warn,  -273)

Previously these unconfigured thresholds were exposed as sysfs limits
that read back as -273.15 C, which userspace (e.g. s-tui) interpreted as
a real, permanently-exceeded limit.

To avoid this we can hide the sysfs attribute for that threshold.
See truncated example below.

Before:

> sensors cros_ec-isa-000c
cpu_f75303@4d:       +36.9°C  (crit = +74.8°C, emerg = +84.8°C)

After:

> sensors cros_ec-isa-000c
cpu_f75303@4d:       +36.9°C  (high = -273.1°C, crit = +74.8°C)
                              (emerg = +84.8°C)
