ACPI: Add facility to remove all _OSI strings

Browse source 
This patch changes the "acpi_osi=" boot parameter implementation so
that:
1. "acpi_osi=!" can be used to disable all _OSI OS vendor strings by
   default.  It is meaningless to specify "acpi_osi=!" multiple
   times as it can only affect the default state of the target _OSI
   strings.
2. "acpi_osi=!*" can be used to remove all _OSI OS vendor strings
   and all _OSI feature group strings.  It is useful to specify
   "acpi_osi=!*" multiple times through kernel command line to
   override the current state of the target _OSI strings.

'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
string(s). Note that such command can affect the
current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
through kernel command line is meaningful. But it may
still not able to affect the final state of a string if
there are quirks related to this string. This command
is useful when one want to control the state of the
feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
the OSPM features.
Examples:
1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
'_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
'_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
equivalent to
'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"'

'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!',
they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
