ACPI: Enhance /sys/firmware/interrupts to allow enable/disable/clear from user-space

Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event
in user space.

This is useful for debugging, especially for some
interrupt storm issues.

All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime,
and we mark them as invalid.

All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid.

All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid
and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.

None of these counters has an effect on the function
of the system, they are simply statistics.
Besides this, user can also write specific strings to these files
to enable/disable/clear ACPI interrupts in user space, which can be
used to debug some ACPI interrupt storm issues.
Note that only writting to VALID GPE/Fixed Event is allowed,
i.e. user can only change the status of runtime GPE and
Fixed Event with event handler installed.

and other user space applications so that the machine won't shutdown
when pressing the power button.
