alienware-wmi: added platform profile support

Implements platform profile support for Dell laptops with new WMAX thermal
interface, present on some Alienware X-Series, Alienware M-Series and
Dell's G-Series laptops. This interface is suspected to be used by
Alienware Command Center (AWCC), which is not available for linux
systems, to manage thermal profiles.

This implementation makes use of three WMI methods, namely
THERMAL_CONTROL, THERMAL_INFORMATION and GAME_SHIFT_STATUS, which take
u32 as input and output arguments. Each method has a set of supported
operations specified in their respective enums.

Not all models with WMAX WMI interface support these methods. Because of
this, models have to manually declare support through new quirks
`thermal` for THERMAL_CONTROL and THERMAL_INFORMATION and `gmode` for
GAME_SHIFT_STATUS.

Wrappers written for these methods support multiple operations.

THERMAL_CONTROL switches thermal modes through operation
ACTIVATE_PROFILE. Available thermal codes are auto-detected at runtime
and matched against a list of known thermal codes:

Thermal Table "User Selectable Thermal Tables" (USTT):
	BALANCED			0xA0
	BALANCED_PERFORMANCE		0xA1
	COOL				0xA2
	QUIET				0xA3
	PERFORMANCE			0xA4
	LOW_POWER			0xA5

Thermal Table Basic:
	QUIET				0x96
	BALANCED			0x97
	BALANCED_PERFORMANCE		0x98
	PERFORMANCE			0x99

Devices are known to implement only one of these tables without mixing
their thermal codes.

The fact that the least significant digit of every thermal code is
consecutive of one another is exploited to efficiently match codes
through arrays.

Autodetection of available codes is done through operation LIST_IDS of
method THERMAL_INFORMATION. This operation lists fan IDs, CPU sensor ID,
GPU sensor ID and available thermal profile codes, *in that order*. As
number of fans and thermal codes is very model dependent, almost every
ID is scanned and matched based on conditions found on
is_wmax_thermal_code(). The known upper bound for the number of IDs is
13, corresponding to a device that have 4 fans, 2 sensors and 7 thermal
codes.

Additionally G-Series laptops have a key called G-key, which (with AWCC
proprietary driver) switches the thermal mode to an special mode named
GMODE with code 0xAB and changes Game Shift Status to 1. Game Shift is a
mode the manufacturer claims, increases gaming performance.

GAME_SHIFT_STATUS method is used to mimic this behavior when selecting
PLATFORM_PROFILE_PERFORMANCE option.

All of these profiles are known to only change fan speed profiles,
although there are untested claims that some of them also change power
profiles.

Activating a thermal mode with method THERMAL_CONTROL may cause short
hangs. This is a known problem present on every platform.
