arch/x86/acpigen: Provide helper functions for enabling/disabling GPIO

In order to allow GPIOs to be set/clear according to their polarity,
provide helper functions that check for polarity and call set/clear
SoC functions for generating ACPI code.

BUG=None
BRANCH=None
TEST=Verified that the ACPI code generated remains the same as before
for reef.

+# Helper routines #
+
+In order to relieve drivers of the task of implementing the same code
+for enabling/disabling Tx GPIOs based on the GPIO polarity, helper
+routines are provided which implement this common code and can be used
+directly in the driver routines:
+1. Enable Tx GPIO
+   int acpigen_enable_tx_gpio(struct acpi_gpio gpio)
+2. Disable Tx GPIO
+   int acpigen_disable_tx_gpio(struct acpi_gpio gpio)
+
+Both the above functions take as input struct acpi_gpio type and
+return -1 on error and 0 on success. These helper routines end up
+calling the platform specific acpigen_soc_{set,clear}_tx_gpio
+functions internally. Thus, all the ACPI AML calling conventions for
+the platform functions apply to these helper functions as well.
