chromeec: Disable battery remaining capacity workaround

If remaining charge is more than x% of the full capacity, the
remaining charge is raised to the full capacity before it's
reported to the rest of the system.

Some batteries don't update full capacity timely or don't update it
at all. On such systems, compensation is required to guarantee
the remaining charge will be equal to the full capacity eventually.

On some systems, Rohm charger generates audio noise when the battery
is fully charged and AC is plugged. A workaround is to do charge-
discharge cycles between 93 and 100%. On such systems, compensation
was also applied to mask this cycle from users.

This used to be done in ACPI, thus, all software components except EC
was able to see the compensated charge. This patch is part of the
effort of moving the logic to EC. With this and the EC changes, EC
can see what the rest of the system sees, thus, can control LEDs
synchronously (to the display percentage).

Another rationale of this move is EC can perform more granular and
precise compensation than ACPI since it has more knowledge about the
battery and the charger.
